You know what I'd *kill* for?

class Llama
{

string foo;
Object bar;
scope InputStream baz;
scope ubyte[] quxx;

~this()
{
  // Can't do much here; could be GC'ed :'(
}

scope ~this()
{
  // EVERYBODY DIES!!
  delete foo;
  delete bar;
  // baz automatically gets scope ~this'ed & delete'd.
  // quxx automatically gets delete'd.
}

}

Yeah, yeah; I'll go back to wishing wistfully...
