Memoization of directory used by create-temporary-{file,directory}

Description
Once create-temporary-file or create-temporary-directory is called, the value that represents the directory where temporary files/directories are created gets cached and modifications to the supported environment variables no longer have the expected effect. Example:
#;1> (create-temporary-file) "/tmp/tempcd92.182728.tmp" #;2> (set-environment-variable! "TMPDIR" "/home/mario") #;3> (create-temporary-file) "/tmp/tempc6c.182728.tmp"
In this example, the second call to (create-temporary-file) (#;3) should have created a temporary file in /home/mario, not /tmp.
