I've always thought that having a separate swap partition was the best
approach, rather than a swap file inside /. The usage of swap versus
normal file storage is different, and it makes sense to use something
optimised for it. And it strikes me that doing one thing inside another
inside another (e.g. delving into large files as swap), is inefficient,
too.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
