Vale has a feature where it won't let you forget to call a 
function to destroy user types marked as such when they go out of 
scope. So you call a named destructor, which can take arguments 
too:

I'd like this in D. It doesn't replace scope(exit), but it 
guarantees you don't forget to do 'manual' cleanup.

Personally I would use snippet completion in my editor (Geany). 
Might be called something else in other editors. So when I type 
`se` and press tab it would expand to `scope(exit)`. You can 
configure it to put a brace block after it if you want and have 
the cursor be inside it with appropriate indentation.
