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.
