> I would like to point out that if you write code like this (that is, creating a temporary object only to have it instantly deleted), your code smells.

Not necessarily. What if all you want are the side effects of the object?

In particular I/O. Either disk or network.

Creating the object opens the connection, destroying it closes the connection. And you use the object in between to write data.

Or, don't assign the new object to anything, and simply write the data you pass in to it, and close the stream.

It's a perfectly reasonable use case.
