Yah, clearly there's a problem with the language implementation (and the 
definition that is incomplete, leaving too much leeway to the 
implementation). Clearly the way to go is fix the bug, which has been 
preapproved and of raised gravity. That would obviate the entire 
"implementation has a bug therefore language does not support RAII" line 
of reasoning. Thanks Stefan for looking into this! -- Andrei
