+Use tempfiles to minimize the risk of resource leakage when preparing to overwrite or create a file with new content
+in a signal-safe way, making the change atomic.
+
+Tempfiles can also be used as locks as only one tempfile can exist at a given path at a time.
+
+* [x] registered temporary files which are deleted automatically as the process terminates or on drop
+ * [x] write to temporary file and persist it under new name
+ * [x] close temporary files to convert them into a marker while saving system resources
+ * [x] mark paths with a closed temporary file
+* [x] persist temporary files to prevent them from perishing.
+* [x] signal-handler integration with `gix` to clean lockfiles before the process is aborted.
+* [x] use a temporary file transparently due thanks to implementations of `std::io` traits
