I realized 'scope' is already a keyword.  I think that's why people are 
gravitating towards that instead of the more natural 'scoped'.

I think the globally optimum solution would be to make the other 'scope' 
into 'scoped' too.

     scoped(exit) writefln("leaving now");

That reads just fine to me.  Whereas

     scope var = new Class;

looks funny.  Oh well.  Probably hopeless.
