A quick look suggests that this is useful.

However, why not have the unique_val class _be_ the RAII class?  Couldn't this be done with extra template arguments (or just one) giving construction/destruction policies?  You have perfect forwarding so constructor arguments can be forwarded to the policy.  Would this not give you the Foo class for free?  Just wondering.
