Is there any way for me to use scope(exit) (or perhaps a
destructor, like RAII) to mean, "Execute this block of code
for
me when the block is exited, will ya?", *without* introducing
dependencies on exception handling?
scope(exit) stuff;
otherStuff;
is lowered to something like
try
{
otherStuff;
}
finally
{
stuff;
}
So, you can use scope(exit) if the above code is acceptable
for whatever you're doing. Otherwise, no, you can't.
Destructors should work regardless of what you're doing with
exceptions though, so I would expect RAII to work.

And if otherStuff is marked all nothrow, then the exception
parts are pulled out. It's pretty much the entire point of
having nothrow annotations.
Oooh, *that* I did not know. Very interesting, thanks for
pointing that out!
