Want to put BiocFileCache (which will store the TxDb/EnsDb sqlite files as well as the derivedTxome data frame) in a location that can handle the size of the TxDb files.
Also, it would be nice if multiple users on a lab space shared the same BiocFileCache, as then only one of them needs to e.g. makeDerivedTxome or process a GTF, and then it will work for all others.
Question is how to write tximeta such that a user is only asked about the location once, and then in the future the previous answered location is used (and the location can be changed at any time, etc.).
