I'd guess this is in response to a comment I made recently.
The conditional scoped handlers are turning out to be a real pain so
my plan is to rip them out entirely.

There are readability problems, compiler and linker handling issues
and a mess of other reasons these are much harder to use than they
originally seemed.

I've still very keen on the rest of the cleanup.h stuff, just not this
corner!
