Ugh yes.  Please don't force any more extra indentation levels on us! 
Its bad enough with 'with' already.
If you want a new indentation level for every single scoped variable 
then feel free to make scopes for them all,

void drawBox(Rectangle rect, Colour colour) {
   { scope DrawingContext dc = createDrawingContext();
     { scope Pen pen = new Pen(colour);
       dc.drawRectangle(pen, rect);
     } // pen is freed here
   } // dc is freed here
}

but don't force everyone to do that.
