why not? I do it all the time

looks really interesting
as I still use bcb2006 and don't know yet what that decltype staff is
all about I have to use something like this


#define BEGIN_END_UPDATE(Obj) ScopeGuard
ANONYMOUS_VARIABLE(scopeGuard)=MakeBeginEndUpdate((Obj));
(void)(ANONYMOUS_VARIABLE(scopeGuard));


I wonder whether is is possible to implement something similar in
newer delphi versions in order to avoid aforementioned ubiquitous
nested try/finally boredom?
