Hmm, I did that for our handle to libpq-oauth, but I imagine that
leaking a handle to _ourselves_ may make someone very unhappy with us
at some point? Plus, it might kick off the tiniest, most pointless
arms race:
// why does libpq do this
dlclose(libpq_handle);
dlclose(libpq_handle);
I guess we could play around with RTLD_NODELETE... Something to keep
in the back pocket, maybe?
