*The D Style*[0] doesn’t specify how scope guards should be
written AFAICT.
```
scope(exit) action;
scope (exit) action;
scope(exit)
action;
scope (exit)
action;
```
Currently, Phobos mixes all variants.
- `scope\(exit\).+\n`: 316 matches in 42 files
- `scope \(exit\).+\n`: 14 matches in 6 files
- `scope\(exit\)\n`: 38 matches in 12 files
- `scope \(exit\)\n`: 11 matches in 6 files
(Numbers might be slightly different for `~master`.)
**Is there any official recommendation on which style to use in
which situation?**
The first variant seems to be preferred in practice.
Nevertheless, it differs from `version (…)` statements that have
a space in between.
