/*
* standards-track version of this.
*
* Error handling can be complex when various actions need to be performed that
* need to be undone if an error occurs midway. This can be handled with a
* collection of boolean state variables and gotos, which can get clunky and
* error-prone:
*
* {
* if (!a.setup())
* goto fail;
* isASetup = true;
*
* if (!b.setup())
* goto fail;
* isBSetup = true;
*
* ...
* return true;
*
* fail:
* if (isASetup)
* a.teardown();
* if (isBSetup)
* b.teardown();
* return false;
* }
*
* ScopeExit is a mechanism to simplify this pattern by keeping an RAII guard
* class that will perform the teardown on destruction, unless released. So the
* above would become:
*
* {
* if (!a.setup()) {
* return false;
* }
* auto guardA = MakeScopeExit([&] {
* a.teardown();
* });
*
* if (!b.setup()) {
* return false;
* }
* auto guardB = MakeScopeExit([&] {
* b.teardown();
* });
*
* ...
* guardA.release();
* guardB.release();
* return true;
* }
*
* This header provides:
*
* - |ScopeExit| - a container for a cleanup call, automically called at the
* end of the scope;
* - |MakeScopeExit| - a convenience function for constructing a |ScopeExit|
* with a given cleanup routine, commonly used with a lambda function.
*
* Note that the RAII classes defined in this header do _not_ perform any form
* of reference-counting or garbage-collection. These classes have exactly two
* behaviors:
*
* - if |release()| has not been called, the cleanup is always performed at
* the end of the scope;
* - if |release()| has been called, nothing will happen at the end of the
* scope.
