You've used `new`, which means it's allocated with the GC. In
that case, your destructor is a finalizer and may or may not be
called at any point during the program. It's non-deterministic.
If `Context` is a class, you can do this:
```
scope ctx = new Context;
```
This will allocate the class instance on the stack so the
destructor will be called when the scope exits. And of course,
if it's a struct, then just drop the new.
All of that said, D does have scope guards when you need them:

Thank you, that makes sense!
