On Windows you can't delete a file while it's being read, e.g.
cat foo &
rm foo
Because unlinking a file from its directory immediately makes that
file's blocks GC-able (whereas on Unix, an inode cannot be GCd until its
reference count on the filesystem *and processes* is zero).
I guess the bottom line is that we've found opportunities to close FDs
earlier :-)
