Hi,

  I've been longing for this for a long time. I look forward to seeing
something like this in the standard.

How would scoped_resource handle release functions that take the address-of
the resource?
I've seen many APIs that take a ** so they can set the ptr to NULL.
For example see this:
http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/old_basic_structures.html?highlight=cvreleaseimage#releaseimage

I guess you could do it with a lambda but then you actually need a way to
reference the resource itself to take its address.
Also, writing this lambda every time is tedious and error prone as this is
quite a common API approach.

Adi
