Yeah, but RAII takes it to the extreme where you create dummy 
classes that only consist of constructors/destructors so that the 
stack unwinding does all cleanup/closing/freeing without any 
try/catch.

Before C++ templates that looked verbose and ugly syntactically, 
and it is still tedious if you only use the specific resource in 
one location.  "scope(exit)" is often more transparent IMO.
