Maybe for memory -- but for more complex resources this
doesn't work in C++ because there is no way to signal
errors from a destructor.

In fact, if a destructor throws an exception while the
stack is being unwound for a different exception, C++
will get confused and simply kill your program.

So not everything is great, even with C++...
