You can do a lot more than that! Consider the case of a handle of some sort that you need to return to a service when you are done. Case in point, in order to get rid of an sqlite database connection pointer you call db_close(), NOT delete.
No big deal, just use db_close as your deleter!
Is encapsulating the sqlite pointer in an object and having the destructor do that not a better alternative? Other than the time and effort required to develop an encapsulating class I can't think of an example where it is better to do this. Except for stack/static objects. I'm pretty new to C++ though.
