Is it possible to (i) clear or (ii) override already registered
finalizer functions, e.g. reg.finalizer(e, f, add=FALSE) cf.
on.exit(..., add=FALSE)?
No, but you can have the finalizer function call something else, and
change the thing it calls. E.g.
reg.finalizer(env, function (...) CleanUp(...))
will call CleanUp in the global environment (the environment of the
anonymous finalizer); change that function and the cleanup behaviour
will change.

Currently:
env <- new.env()
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer A!\n"))
NULL
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer B!\n"))
NULL
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer C!\n"))
NULL

I wish to have only finalizer "C" to run.
