OK.

I have a feeling that this would be filesystem dependent what
happens in an unlinked directory. But in any case, if an outer lazy
prereq creates a file in the test directory, tries to evaluate
another lazy prereq (which would use the same directory and then
would remove everything in it and the directory itself when done),
and then expects that the file it created before evaluating the
inner lazy prereq is still there, it would not work, so I think this
is a good change. I just think "won't be able to" is a bit too
strong here ("may not be able to (depending on the filesystem)", I
would buy).

And the existence check for outer is exactly what I wrote above.
That would portably break without separte directory. I do not know
if "can create new file" step would fail portably.

Qoting rules are a bit tricky here, but I think it does not matter
too much, as $1 (name or prereq) won't have $IFS or "'" or anything
funny in it.

And this is obviously safe no matter what is in $1 ;-)

Looks good.
