All the other functions we test for come with a replacement plan.  Either
we choose between several similar alternatives (atexit/on_exit), or we
link in our own function.o file.  But we don't shut off a whole piece of
functionality when one goes missing (except in the cases I mentioned).

I'm probably being paranoid.  But you did ask what became of the idea, and
that's what did, as far as I'm concerned...
