This will cause a nice speedup if the temporary directory happens to be on
the same file system as the target directory for the BAT Pack. This can be
influenced by setting an environment variable; see the documentation for
[tempfile.gettempdir](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.gettempdir)
This does introduce some not-so-nice things, like having to annotate each
`__init__` function with `-> None`. However, the benefits of having static
type checking in a complex bit of software like BAT outweigh the downsides.
