IIRC, this variable is bound to be `static` for sake of future proofing.
So, I guess you could use the following suggestion of Eric Sunshine in
the below conditional.
If you reverse this condition to say (!close_notice && isatty(2)),
then you save an isatty() invocation each time if close_notice is
already assigned.
