/private/var/folders/...... is for per-user temporary directories
[default value of TMPDIR], and the directories in question are writable
by the users and not affected by SIP. But it's hidden (since people
aren't expected to actually want to navigate to their temporary files -
how often do you actually go look for something in /tmp?).
