CORRECTION:

how about:  #anything
which is removed automagically after three days on most *4.xBSD* systems and
other systems where people have decided to put in something in /usr/lib/crontab
where anything called '#anything' is removed automagically after three days.
In our case, we remove *everything* that isn't a directory in /tmp and
/usr/tmp after three days (to quote Ben Franklin, "Fish and visitors stink
after three days"), and remove anything that looks like it was made by mktemp
after one day.
