I'm still waiting for a demonstration of its use. Then I can say:
Now, set a breakpoint at line N (I can't tell exact number without
and example)

It should be executed anyway. You have a choice to put it in
a function or in several functions (dtor is a function too).

In an ideal world, all objects do cleanup themself and
you simply write exception-neutral code. And you don't
need finally blocks at all.
