But it's super convenient.
It fundamentally doesn't work to handle an exception with a scope
guard. They rethrow the exception. It's clearly not what it was
designed for. It was designed for making sure that certain things
happen when an exception is thrown or regardless of whether an
exception is thrown. But it's just not designed for actually
handling exceptions.
