   better:   
      
   void dosomething() {   
   	CleanupType cleanup;   
   	/* do what needs doing */   
   }   
      
   or perhaps   
      
   CleanupType::CleanupType {   
   	/* acquire ... */   
   	dosomething();   
   }   
      
   That way, assuming CleanupType is correctly done, dosomething() is   
   reliable, and the caller need not concern himself with how the   
   resources are acquired.
