3767	Defer keyword	matwachich@…		"Why not a Defer keyword for the AutoIt language?
Just like [https://golangbot.com/defer/]

Code is much more clear and clean when Close/Terminate/Deinit/Destroy is just below the corresponding Open/Startup/Init/Create.
And lesser memory leaks (handle not closed...).

{{{
Func readFile($sFile)
    Local $hF = FileOpen($sFile)
    Defer FileClose($hF)

    Return FileRead($sFile)

        _WinAPI_ReleaseDC($hDC)
