I only find the error message confusing. It should be an error: One cannot
assign a scope object to a global state. Local static variables are not at
global scope, but are a global state.

Allowing that would make `scope` absolutely useless as a guarantee and for
optimizations. When the function is called with a lambda, its can be allocated
on the stack, because the reference won't "survive" the call. With allowing
assignment to local static variables, this is no longer the case.
