That patch was never intended for inclusion. It was a quick, fun
hack[1], but it isn't something even I would want to see in the core.

Please, don't.
I'm not convinced that we should allow localizing actions (as opposed to
values), and adding destructors piecemeal for random ops would make me
very uncomfortable.
That said, I wouldn't object to a module which -- with suitable hooks in
the core -- allowed arbitrary leave_scope() actions to be registered. I
might even write it sometime.

[1] Just for the record, it had a bug. In Perl_mod(), i should have
really been doing "if (type == 0) ... else goto nomod;" (Thanks,
Simon.)
