I would find it nice if better design options could gain acceptance.
Will the chances grow to adjust scopes another bit for involved variables
in such function implementations?

A) Enclosing a source code part with extra curly brackets?

B) scoped_guard()?
   https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc4/source/include/linux/cleanup.h#L137

C) Moving a locked source code part into a separate function implementation?
