I don't think so. I've been using Boost.ScopeExit for quite a while and don't 
really miss the scope guard function (like the proposed RAIIFunction). If it 
is proposed it has to provide something remarkably different or benefical, 
IMHO.

As for the RAII wrapper, this component may well deserve its own mini-library.
