DMD 0.148 - scope guard

[Charles]

I don't see how this is marginally better than try - catch - finnaly. 
Thanks to garbage collection , exception safety is dramatically less 
complicated in D then in C++ ( in fact other than the mutex lock -- can 
anyone think of examples for exception safety in D ? ).  I think the 
problem here is exceptions, not exception safety -- and I think that 
point is illustrated with all the many work arounds for 'exception safety'.

I love that D is "thinking outside the box" , but I have to vote against 
this one.  Instead of improving exception safety, we should be improving 
exceptions.
