Huh? Scope failure has no purpose here. It does not CATCH the
exception and prevent it from bubbling up the call chain.
Try/catch does do this.

If the code is:
scope(failure) assert(0);
Then it is a statement that the function doesn't throw. So there
isn't a need to catch the exception, it is merely a way to state
to the compiler "I've verified I know what I'm talking about and
this function really doesn't ever throw."
Right now just having scope(failure) in the body is making this
statement, and that is wrong.
