This doesn't look like a part of Boost.ScopeExit anymore.
I could make a car into an airplane and it's not a car anymore.
This is quite clever but limited.
How so? I use my RAII class like that all of the time, and it does exactly what is needed. It guarantees I'll never forget to put the CloseHandle into the destructor. In fact, most of the time it means I don't need destructors anymore. -Andrew Sandoval
