Do not overwrite files with same names in temp TC folder

E.g. I have 2 archives with files with same names. If I open two archives in different panels and try to compare files, TC extracts both into different temp directories and compares. But if I view first one in Lister and then try to view second one w/o closing first Lister, TC tries to overwrite previously extracted temp file (and shows question or error).

Yes, this can be annoying.

Could archives be unpacked in their own unique subfolders in the temp directory?

TC could do this with many things:
When attempting to view the same 'named' file via FTP, the files get overwritten --- even though on the server the files are within different paths, TC saves them to the Temp folder without any path and overwrites.

I think it won't be a problem for TC to create separate folder for every extracted file/group inside of single folder in TEMP directory. E.g. %TEMP%\_tc\0, %TEMP%\_tc\1 etc.
