As good as scope guards are, anytime you have an object that has some sort 
of cleanup function that needs to be called when you're done with it, it's 
absurd to think that requiring the *user* of the object to use scope guards 
*by convention* is ever a satisfactory substitute for real RAII.

And I have to say, I'm rather disappointed to hear that scope objects are 
going away. What is the reason for that?
