I think this patch (and the previous ones that lead to it) are great.  
That's the kind of thing that will make the data flow easier to 
understand.

About the naming, it's a bit of a nit, but since it might set the 
standard for future classes, I prefer to ask anyway.  Does it help in 
any way to prefix this class' name with "scoped_"?  All C++ 
class/objects are "scoped" when statically allocated in a scope, meaning 
that they get destroyed when execution goes out of that scope.  So it's 
not really the property of the class itself that it's scoped, more about 
how it's being used.  It would be a bit like naming "std::string" -> 
"std::scoped_string", since it frees its resources when being destroyed. 
  "minimal_symbol_reader" sounds like a perfect name for that class, 
doesn't it?

On the other hand, I think scoped_restore is appropriately named, since 
it conveys that its primary (and only?) reason to exist is to be used in 
conjunction with scopes to do some variable restoring.

Simon
