I've read that article before.  To me it only seemed applicable to
destructors that actually did something, like a rollback.  For an
object that does nothing in its destructor, do you think Herb's
arguments still apply?

I'm not advocating either error checking approach, I'm just genuinely
curious.  But maybe that makes it offtopic...
