I think <onexit> will be confusing:  It's not run when you exit the 
program but when you leave the current scope.

<cleanup>, <unwind>, <scoped> would all be fine for me, with 
<unwind>/<scoped> slightly preferred – these two describe the mechanism 
/ when stuff happens, not what happens.

"cleanup" is both slightly too wide (not all cleanup happens in <close>) 
and slightly too narrow (not everything you might do in <close> is 
strictly cleanup, you might also be generating a report / doing stats / …).

<close> is about as good as <cleanup> – acceptable but feels somewhat 
imprecise.
