I wouldn't add the dismiss functionality. That is not always needed with RAII and the Scope Exit API is more generic without it. If users need such functionality, they can use a commit/dismiss variable external to Scope Exit to simply implement it:

Every scope guard since the beginning of time has had a dismiss/release function. Pardon me but writing an extra line is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I could have written 35 such classes with all this email. Good thing I have a "libsohail" to stuff this into. Sohail
