Description
It'd be nice if there was a way to create safe arrays and destroy them when something goes wrong.
Doing something like this...
wil::unique_any<SAFEARRAY*, decltype(&::SafeArrayDestroy), ::SafeArrayDestroy>;
and making it easily convertible to a vector or array.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing wil::unique_any pattern and the SafeArrayDestroy API mentioned in the issue. Define the ownership and failure behavior for safe arrays, then determine the intended conversion behavior to vector or array; done means the supported interface and expected conversions are documented and covered by tests.
