That will happen when the discussion takes place in the bugtracker 
instead of the core list...

I did a debug($this->result) in extProc_init() and all it produced was a 
list of wraps (allWrap and ATagParams). I don't think this is enough to 
base the uniqueness of the js file on.

So -1 for now.

I've noticed more bug reports about "temporary" files depending on 
certain content. It looks like it has been used as a caching mechanism. 
One essential part of a cache to me is garbage collection. This file 
based mechanism lacks garbage collection. I'd rather see a more generic 
solution for these "temporary" files, preferably including garbage 
collection to prevent flooding the file system with unused files.
