With all due respect, I don't see a lot of people disagreeing; I see one
person disagreeing vociferously.  For the most part, others are discussing
the details to make sure that we do a good job on important cases. The
automatic resource management statement is a facility that would solve a
huge problem that affects the great majority of programmers today, and we
know how to solve it well enough to address the great bulk of that problem.
