I know Python's `with` statement can be used to have an

I know D's `with` statement does something different but is
there some sort of equivalent?
In this case with(File("bla"))
will do the same.
FWIW std.stdio.File is refcounted and will be automatically
closed at the end of the scope. So typically you don't even need
`with` ;-)
@Jonathan: have a look at these two examples to see what DMD does
under the hood:
