Defer has the benefit of being dynamic vs the scope tied cleanup.

I think it depends what problem you're trying to solve. If you're just trying to kill kernel-style GOTO cleanup pyramids, then having it tied to scope with no unwinding or anything dynamic is perfectly adequate.

Not sure I'd call that a benefit, honestly.
