However, the problem is that in that case the jobname changes as well as all auxiliary files. This is not a problem in a stand alone or final run, but not that handy when debugging files, since in some aspects the filename is important. So, it's not that trivial. I can write a complement to --result (--temp) but I wonder if it wouldn't introduce other problems.
