Well in most cases, if your program isn't written in the global scope but has methods or functions, then local variables will be removed early enough. For situations where you need to force it I suggest to use unset(). It'd be ugly to add another scoping operator and in most cases it's not needed.

help earlier detection of when it's possible to release a variable.
This wouldn't solve leaks, but it might help prevent some
