Why we need scope(success) if I can write at the end?

I'm a newcomer as well, so take my answer with a good dose of doubt.
There is no difference AFAIK.
scope(success) allows defining end-of-scope process for a given element 
--here the file-- in case of success using an idiom consistent with 
other possible outcomes (read: exit, failure). I find this a Good Thing, 
personly.
