+1. I believe "pass-through" functions such as autoreleasepool,
withExtendedLifetime/withUnsafePointer, dispatch_sync, etc. should all have
a generic-result/rethrowing signature.

Workarounds were doable, but clunky.

Seems so.

N/A

Quick reading of the proposal, because the implementation is very simple,
and I've implemented similar utility functions before.
