// In practice, this will do nothing, because the only cleanup LLVM does is
// to remove all files that were registered with it via a frontend calling
// one of the `createOutputFile` family of functions in LLVM and passing true
// to RemoveFileOnSignal, something that rustc does not do. However, it would
// be... inadvisable to suddenly stop running these handlers, if LLVM gets
// "interesting" ideas in the future about what cleanup should be done.
// We might even find it useful for generating less artifacts.
