If you have the time, please take a look (specially to the Rationale) and let me know your comments. The code itself is very short and straightforward.

A quick look suggests that this is useful. However, why not have the unique_val class _be_ the RAII class? Couldn't this be done with extra template arguments (or just one) giving construction/destruction policies? You have perfect forwarding so constructor arguments can be forwarded to the policy. Would this not give you the Foo class for free? Just wondering. Cheers, Brook
