Just by guessing, what we don't see here is that there is a

TypeForExcel wrapper_actually_called_by_excel(/* ... */) {
    /* ... */

    double[] ret_from_your_function = FuncReturnArrayNoGc(/* 
... */);
    scope (exit) disposal_function(ret_from_your_function);

    TypeForExcel arg_to_excel = 
copy_for_excel(ret_from_your_function);
    return arg_to_excel;
}


That makes it more obvious. So it still is really like a 
scope(exit), just some other function is managing when that 
occurs.
