This would mostly be a convenience feature. Sometimes you might want to reset a variable or change player role or whatever when the player leaves a room, and it would be more convenient to be able to set up a script to do that on room exit rather than account for every possible room the player could exit into and put the script there.

This is mostly on my mind due to a particular room in The Descent of King Hesper where we forgot to clear a variable upon leaving the room, and it had side effects elsewhere. That room can be exited in multiple ways, so if there were a way to just say "reset the variable when you leave the room", that would be a simpler fix than most other options.

Custom weapon tokens are an obvious example of something that would benefit from this feature. I'd really appreciate being able to run a script on room exit.

I've been doing this thing where I have a global script that first checks if it's turn zero, and if so, it resets everything to the default (player role as Beethro with a sword), and then ends.
