  //   using this permission doesn't provide any protections.)
  // - Use FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE for any file that is to be deleted after use.
  //   The OS will ensure it is deleted even in the face of process termination.
  // - Use FLAG_CAN_DELETE_ON_CLOSE in conjunction with DeleteOnClose() to alter
  //   the DeleteFile disposition on an open handle. This fine-grained control
  //   allows for marking a file for deletion during processing so that it is
  //   deleted in the event of untimely process termination, and then clearing
  //   this state once the file is suitable for persistence.
