-One may want to cleanup the temporary files even when an uncaught exception
-occurs. To enforce this, you can call the `setGracefulCleanup()` method:
+If graceful cleanup is set, tmp will remove all controlled temporary objects on process exit, otherwise the
+temporary objects will remain in place, waiting to be cleaned up on system restart or otherwise scheduled temporary
+object removal.
