Interesting. I didn't realize it was going to be *that* tightly bounded.

This makes me wonder if the whole disable free thing should just be removed
at this point. Back in the day, we didn't so carefully use a
BumpPtrAllocator in the ASTContext. Today, we might be fine to call free 10
times. Anyways, not trying to shift the goal posts; I mostly wanted to
mention it in case someone gets some time to look into removing all of the
leak stuff.

Do these being function-local statics defeat the purpose of using a basic
atomic increment? I can't recall if we correctly eliminate the cxa_guard in
these cases...
