Dear Boost community. The peer review of the proposed Boost.Scope will start on
26th of November and continue until December 5th. Boost.Scope is a small
library implementing utilities defined in
<experimental/scope> from C++ Extensions for Library Fundamentals v3
with a few extensions. Namely, the library contains:
* A number of scope guards for various use cases.
* A unique resource wrapper that automatically frees the resource on
destruction.
* Utilities for wrapping POSIX-like file descriptors in the unique
resource wrapper.

You can find the source code of the library at
https://github.com/Lastique/scope and read the documentation at
https://lastique.github.io/scope/libs/scope/doc/html/index.html. The library
is header-only and thus it is fairly easy to try it out. In addition, the
library can be used with Conan and vcpkg (see its README for instructions on
how to do that). Finally, there's a single header version suitable for Compiler
Explorer (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lastique/scope/single-header/include/boost/scope.hpp).

As the library is not domain-specific, everyone is very welcome to contribute a
review either by sending it to the Boost mailing list, or me personally. In
your review please state whether you recommend to reject or accept the library
into Boost, and whether you suggest any conditions for acceptance.

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

Dmitry Arkhipov, Staff Engineer at The C++ Alliance.
