Good point. Perhaps it should be a user-visible module, e.g. 
g.cleanup.

One of the potential problems with clean-up was that certain d.*
commands which read from stdin copied the data to a temp file, so that
redraw via D_add_to_list(G_recreate_command()) worked. With monitors
and D_add_to_list() gone in 7.0, that's no longer an issue. AFAICT,
there shouldn't be any need for temp files to persist between commands
now.
