Thanks for your suggestion on it. I think it is a very good practice
to get rid of problems like
lock-leak or double-locking, while keeping the code elegant.

I would certainly like to keep the practice while making my future
patch, and help adjust other
code to also use the scope-based locking when appropriate.

Best regards,
Chengfeng
