Yes, it aims in the same direction. However, I'm not sure this applies to my
case. The point is that the resource handle is not just used locally in a
restricted scope but it is allocated and stored. The 'with' is something
that makes sense in the context of mutex locking, where you have a
well-defined critical section. What I need is something similar to open(),
which returs a file. When the last reference to that object goes out of
scope, the underlying file object is closed.
