I can do it later with some syscall, that's fine. I just want to find a way to do it correctly. The problem is -- you can't "try" an unlink. So we have to probe whether we can unlink. And opening for O_DENYDELETE by no means says we *will* unlink. We just have to keep the option to do it exclusively.
