That's just it, though. They are not. Not reliably.
Yah, clearly there's a problem with the language implementation
(and the definition that is incomplete, leaving too much leeway
to the implementation). Clearly the way to go is fix the bug,
which has been preapproved and of raised gravity. That would
obviate the entire "implementation has a bug therefore language
does not support RAII" line of reasoning. Thanks Stefan for
looking into this! -- Andrei
This is going to be tricky without breaking code which worked
around the bug.
