If I'm gonna write RAII wrappers around every tiny little thing that I happen to need to call once... I might as well just use Rust and make the wrappers do FFI.

If I'm constructing a particular C object once in my entire code base, calling a couple functions on it, then freeing it, I'm not much more likely to get it right in the RAII wrapper than in the one place in my code base I do it manually. At least if I have tools like defer to help me.
