That's correct.  But test_shutil attempts nothing of the sort, so it's
irrelevant (test_shutil had been suppressing exceptions from trying to
delete ordinary files and directories it had itself created, and it
was in fact because it suppressed these exceptions that it didn't
notice it was needlessly leaving junk temp files and junk temp
directories behind).  Note that the patch was against test_shutil.py;
it didn't touch shutil.py.
