In some secure environments /tmp may well already be per session because
the /tmp directory is created on the fly by the pam modules and then the
clone functionality to create a new namespace is used before mounting
it.

~user is the obvious per-user scope, but the question I'm not sure I
understand the answer to at that point is how "per-user" is the scope
truely - "per user on this box" or "per user" ?
