Unless the purpose is to get a destructor to trigger only. This is the most correct answer. This pattern is very widely used and can prevent crashes. The using block is a try{}finally{} behind the scenes but without the catch it just throws and could be caught higher up the stack on accident. When I was a fresh grad this pattern saved my dumb ass when I unintentionally would catch the exceptions somewhere else, but hey it didn't crash.
