Yeah, it was Robert's suggestion; I thought I needed *something* like
this but was hesitant for the niggling reason that Andres mentions:
what if someone somewhere (including code outside our source tree)
depends on this ordering because of unlocking etc?
At that time I thought that my clean-up logic wasn't going to work on
Windows without this reordering, because we were potentially closing
file handles after unlinking the files, and I was under the impression
that Windows wouldn't like that. Since then I've learned that Windows
does actually allow it, but only if all file handles were opened with
the FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag. We always do that (see src/port/open.c),
so in fact this change is probably not needed for my patch set (theory
not tested). I will put it in a separate patch as requested by
Andres, because it's generally a good idea anyway for the reasons that
Robert explained (ie you probably always want to clean up memory last,
since it might contain the meta-data/locks/control objects/whatever
you'll need to clean up anything else).
