Despite being convenient,I have the feeling that it might be a bad idea.

One of the key interest of C compared to more recent languages is that everything is explicit. With a finger you can follow the code as it runs and know exactly what is going on and when exactly.

At the opposite, there is c++ that does a lot of things automagically. And it is often hard to understand why you suddenly get a segfault out of blue, just because a destructor was randomly called at the wrong time.
