As ikod mentions, it's because of scoped!S. As for why it does 
this, yeah, this is kinda egregious. The documentation[0] of 
scoped mentions this issue:

As the name implies, scoped!T limits the valid scope of a 
reference to the scope of the variable holding it. You're putting 
it on the stack, so the moment the variable goes off the stack 
(when do_lazy returns), the reference is destructed.
