The withr package has a bunch of simple functions executing code in various
contexts, e.g., in a given directory or with given options() settings:
> withr::with_dir
function (new, code)
{
old <- setwd(dir = new)
on.exit(setwd(old))
force(code)
}
> withr::with_dir(tempdir(), getwd())

One downside of all of this is that examples become increasingly dominated
by code re: tempdir setup and the like.
It may not discourage the people on this list, but I suspect too much extra
machinery makes the typical user less likely to engage with examples.
