If `_LIBCPP_NO_DESTROY` is not effective, doesn't that mean that the user will pay the startup to register the atexit destruction, even if the category singleton is never used?  I think the benefit of the static local remains: that you're not paying for it unless it's used.  If `_LIBCPP_NO_DESTROY` is supported then there's no benefit to using static locals.  Are we ok imposing the load time cost when the library is built without `_LIBCPP_NO_DESTROY` support?
