[lang] SystemUtils.JAVA_IO_TMPDIR
Hello,
When I use SystemUtils.JAVA_IO_TMPDIR, I really need
File file = new File(SystemUtils.JAVA_IO_TMPDIR)
Any thoughts/allergic reactions to providing a
SystemUtils.JAVA_IO_TMPDIR_FILE?

I think that static methods may be a cleaner approach, instead of a
static block which much catch IOExceptions when constructing the static
File objects.
This would elminate the convenience of having static fields, but the
possibility of receiving NullPointerExceptions instead of IOExceptions
after an error doesn't seem favorable to me.

It would definitely need to be protected in construction to avoid exceptions
and set the value to null if it fails.
Are there other values in systemutils that this could apply to?

Would proving a static File instance create any strangeness with regard
to system resources? I'm not sure.
