You may have coding style particularly alien to scope guards :)
Those are very convenient to use as a simple an generic
alternative to RAII, especially when interfacing with C
libraries. I find that most often one wants to catch majority of
exceptions only in somewhat high level parts of code (i.e. main
loop) and rest is just cleanup code - perfect fit for scope
guards.
scope(success) is probably one I don't see use case case for
though
