I'm not sure, but scope as a modifier on local variables like that is going to 
be removed from the language. std.typecons.Scoped is replacing it.

However, unless you're having major memory issues, I really wouldn't worry 
about it. Just let the garbage collector do its thing. It's not the best, but 
it works fine in most cases.
