Justifying it in plugins may or may not be doable (we'd have to have
proper inclusion guards so that the cleanup functions are only declared
for capable compilers. For filters it may be easier: we already document
that all filters might as well live in-tree because we don't guarantee a
stable API (case in point - we broke API between 1.11.9 and 1.11.10, and
didn't think twice about it). So we know our filters are being compiled
with a capable compiler.  I don't know if we are installing
nbdkit-filters.h in a public location, but it really isn't all that
useful outside of nbdkit sources.
