See if stdio allows you to specify delete sharing when opening
the file.
In std.stdio, File(name, mode) is forwarded to _wfopen on Windows
and to fopen on posix.
On Windows there are many mode flags supported by the _wfopen
function (link above):
If you intend to delete the file immediately after closing it,
you can use the "D" mode flag when instantiating the File struct.

You can write your own wrapper around CreateFile/Ex WinAPI
function and use FILE_SHARE_DELETE for dwSharingMode; now you can
safely delete the file without closing it even from another
process.
