I would say quite the reverse.  Every single person here who is arguing in 
favour a cleanup function is arguing for something that could be called 
optionally (and typically, on exit) as, and if, it was felt beneficial.  Every 
one of them recognises that there are situations where it might be felt not to 
be beneficial.

If anything, the problem is the other way around.  Those people who are arguing 
against it will not even countenance the thought that it has any merit 
whatsoever - even though it's clear that many developers want this 
functionality; many have submitted very good arguments in its favour; and most 
of them have given good explanations of why they want it.
