C++11 scope exit guard, a good idea?

Question

I\'ve written a small utility class for C++11 which I use as a scope guard for easier handling of exception safety and similar things.

Seems somewhat like a hack. Bu

We could omit the ugly [&] stuff by putting it in the define:

#define UTILITY_SCOPE_EXIT(f) const auto& _UTILITY_EXIT_SCOPE_LINENAME(EXIT, __LINE__) = ::detail::create_scope_exit([&]f)

Then:

UTILITY_SCOPE_EXIT({myfile.close();});

Tested with MSVC++ 11.0 (VS2012). Regards.
