I didn't mean to say this is a better design in C++, just that it's 
different. I probably misunderstood the question, it wasn't meant as a value 
judgement at all. 

In fact all the features I mentioned I think are for the worse, not better. 
Except raii perhaps, although I don't think this is so important when you 
have GC and scope().
