At present I find this construct unreadable.
I may get used to it, hard to say.

Also I don't see the benefit of the auto-freeing construct,
I'd venture a guess that all the bugs it may prevent would
have been caught by smatch. But I'm an old curmudgeon stuck
in my ways. Feel free to experiment in Intel drivers, and we'll
see how it works out 🤷️
