I think a custom `struct` containing a GC:d slice of `scope` 
arrays could be done. The struct itself needs `@system` code of 
course but could be `@safe` from outwards perspective, unless 
there's some issue I haven't thought of.

A relatively quick-and-dirty solution would be to use a static 
array for this, if you know some upper size the array can't 
exceed. Kinda cheap but probably better than `@system`.
