+package-specific mutable containers of data.  These spaces can contain datasets,
+text, binaries, or any other kind of data that would be convenient to store in
+a location specific to your package.  As compared to Artifacts, these containers
+of data are mutable.  Because the scratch space location on disk is not very
+user-friendly, scratch spaces should, in general, not be used for a storing
+files that the user must interact with through a file browser.")
