Since this feature would go only into trunk, you can use a channel 
datastore instead of a channel variable, which would allow you to store 
additional information as well if needed.

The 'discard' operation won't be necessary if you use a datastore, 
because your custom destructor will be called when the channel is being 
torn down and you can remove the file(s) at that time as well.
