Does anyone like my minimalistic simplistic syntax here? You don't need to
include a header file nor write lambda syntax. Perhaps we could also make
use of the 'throw' keyword to indicate how the scope was exited:

void Func(void)
{
    Handle h = GetResource("monkey");

    if ( ! h ) return;

    ~ { if throw FreeDevice(h); }

    // The rest of the function goes here
}

In the above code snippet, FreeDevice only gets called if Func is exited by
means of a thrown exception. The two keywords 'if throw' side by side would
have a special meaning here.
