What would be a good answer to this article? http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/raii-why-is-it-unique-to-c/
Especially the part mentioning D:{ D’s scope keyword, Python’s with statement and C#’s using declaration all provide limited RAII, by allowing resources to have a scoped lifetime, but none of them readily or cleanly support the clever tricks allowed by C++’s combination of smart pointers and RAII, such as returning handles from functions, multiple handles in the same scope, or handles held by multiple clients. } This morning I was pointing to some deprecated usage of scope mentioned in docs (EMAIL:scope classes mentioned in tutorials, but deprecated). The pull request (https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/637/files) mentions using struct or classes allocated on the stack via typecons.scoped. However what about the RAII usage mentioned in the above article that allows C++ to return handles for eg (impossible via scope), that get deterministically destroyed?
