+  /* If source_fds[i] != target_fds[i], we need to handle the case
+   * where the user has specified, e.g., 5 -> 4, 4 -> 6. We do this
+   * by duping the source fds, taking care to ensure the new fds are
+   * larger than any target fd to avoid introducing new conflicts.
+   *
+   * If source_fds[i] == target_fds[i], then we just need to leak
+   * the fd into the child process, which we *could* do by temporarily
+   * unsetting CLOEXEC and then setting it again after we spawn if
+   * it was originally set. POSIX requires that the addup2 action unset
+   * CLOEXEC if source and target are identical, so you'd think doing it
+   * manually wouldn't be needed, but unfortunately as of 2021 many
+   * libcs still don't do so. Example nonconforming libcs:
+   *  Bionic: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/f6e5b582604715729b09db3e36a7aeb8c24b36a4/libc/bionic/spawn.cpp#71

+   *
+   * Anyway, unsetting CLOEXEC ourselves would open a small race window
+   * where the fd could be inherited into a child process if another
+   * thread spawns something at the same time, because we have not
+   * called fork() and are multithreaded here. This race is avoidable by
+   * using dupfd_cloexec, which we already have to do to handle the
+   * source_fds[i] != target_fds[i] case. So let's always do it!
