Thank you for having a go...

However you have broken the encapsulation of class A and B. These 
are trivial for the sake of example. I should have used
_underscores (i.e. self._res) to make the intent of
this example more obvious.

Please try again but preserving the integrity/encapsulation
of class A & B & C, just as the RAII example does.
