That solution doesn't work, because you can exit scopes with return,
break, and goto as well,
and the whole point of these scope guards is that they are able to run
their cleanup regardless
of how you do the scope exit. And for scope_fail, its purpose is
specifically that you don't
have to catch and rethrow if your function doesn't want to handle
exception. So that's
a complete non-solution.

Warning users that these things don't work in coroutines seems like a
palatable solution to me.
