+ * See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4189.pdf for a
+ * 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.
