"Code Sandwiches"

[bearophile]

Despite D is currently not widely used, it's not hard for me to find references about D into computer science papers I find around.

This paper is titles "Code Sandwiches", by Matt Elder, Steve Jackson, and Ben Liblit, it discusses D scope guards too (page 7 and several successive pages):

One of the things the paper says about D scope guards is: "Scope guards do not provide encapsulation".
