## Message

```
std.os.windows.OpenFile: handle DELETE_PENDING

This error means that there *was* a file in this location on the file
system, but it was deleted. However, the OS is not finished with the
deletion operation, and so this CreateFile call has failed. There is not
really a sane way to handle this other than retrying the creation after
the OS finishes the deletion.
