If not level wide, than maybe scene/section wide.
However I do get that not all architectures are amendable to be
re-written in a GC friendly way.
But the approach is similar to RAII in C++, reduce new to
minimum and allocate via factory functions that work together
with handle manager classes.

This is similar to Scoped!T in D. But this is not composable
either.
You cannot have a "using()" field in a class object, much like
you cannot have a Scoped!T field in D. In C#, you still have to
implement IDispose interface AFAIK.
