Multiple file loading leads to too many workspaces

[Russell Taylor]

Executing a command like the following should lead to a single workspace called 'w' which is the sum of the 3 runs:

w=Load('ARCS30000-30002')

However, you end up with 2 workspaces additional to 'w':

• one called ARCS_30000_event_ARCS_30001_event_ARCS_30002_event, which appears to actually be the same workspace (not just an identical copy - printing its name gives back 'w').
• one called __@loadsum_temp@ which should have been cleaned up (even though it's a 'hidden' workspace).

bulk move to assigned at the into of the triage step

I cannot reproduce this issue. It is definitely working well for me, and it seems very closely related to #7628 which I also resolved as 'workforsome' some days ago.

I tried for example these commands:

  Load('LOQ48097-48098',OutputWorkspace='foo') => generates foo and nothing else
  bar=Load('LOQ48097-48098') => generates bar and nothing else

and could only see the glitch that a temporary workspace is created with the long name before being renamed to the output ws name.

I can certainly see both workspaces mentioned in the description being created but they are both cleaned up at the end of the Load algorithm.
