resource scopes and close actions

Morning,
I was hoping to use resource scopes to auto-cleanup native-allocated
resources, but it looks like it's going to be a bit messy because
segments get closed before their close actions are invoked.
Is this the intended behaviour or a side-effect of 'no particular order'?
For some api's it doesn't matter as they don't use api-allocated public
structures (e.g. opencl) and the same approach is fine using
MemoryAddress, but for others it's an issue (e.g. ffmpeg) where the
obvious mapping is to use a segment and varhandles.
Probably as a workaround - if i want to have this feature at any rate
because i'm not sure if it's a good idea yet - i'll just save a copy of
the address before it's turned into a segment and pass that to any close
function instead.
I've only really started looking at seeing how to 'scope' things
'properly' but it feels a bit clumsy and sort of not worth it because it
has to be worked around all the time either with hacks like this or
resorting to simply using the global scope which effectively does nothing.
