It's documented so. I guess, linux implements file deletion
with delete-on-close feature too, if it exists, a separate
deletion operation is not needed.
It's not really a delete on close. The file system link is
removed, but there is still a handle open to the location. This
ends up working more like a GC, file is not returned for reuse
until there are no more references to it.
