I want to bring back an idea from Rust: It has a drop() function which will
call the destructor of an object immediately (and thus officially ends the
lifetime of an object). It better states the goal of ending the lifetime
explicitly than nested scopes.

I would say that drop() is longer than scopes (at least number of
keystrokes), but it is one less line to read. Maybe it is not short, but it
is concise. And I would claim it is much prettier than scopes.
