PMFJI, but I keep wondering why this example keeps reappearing. Both
fclose() and fflush() have return values that should usually be checked.
This makes them bad examples for shared pointers with user-specified
deleter functions IMHO. Or has anybody found a good way for dealing with
them indicating failure?
