A way to test that I have cleaned all temporary things?

[papb]

I use tempy extensively in some of my projects. In one of those projects, I have some methods that create a lot of temporary files/folders and deletes them in the end.

I am currently writing automated tests for this project and I want to test that no temporary files/folders were left behind.

Some options I've considered:

• List everything already in the temp folder before starting the test, then calling my methods and afterwards listing again what is in the temp folder, and checking if both lists are equal. Intuitively I don't like this approach though.
• Make a wrapper over tempy that keeps track of everything that has been created. To test that there are no leftovers, I loop over each path recorded in this wrapper and check that it doesn't exist. This looks better, but I was wondering if this would be interesting to exist in tempy itself, in the form of a method like tempy.getCreationHistory() (name can be improved).

Also, an implementation of this second idea in tempy would enable an easy solution to #11, in which cleaning up would be just a p-map one-liner deleting everything over that history.

It seems like https://github.com/sindresorhus/tempy/pull/12 would be a better solution for this.
