Probably the easiest thing to do is to throw a custom exception and

exit(), throwing will take care of RAII stuff.
Thanks, Andrej. That option had occurred to me, but I figured that
shouldn't be the way to do things given that most other languages have
a native exit function. Given that this code transformation isn't
particularly difficult (put main in a try/catch, have a custom
exception storing exit code, return the exit code in the catch block),
would it be reasonable to do a feature request for a
D-language-supported exit()?
Yeah, really. I'd been using the C exit() as well. Seems like a pretty
fundamental feature. :O
