You both have good points, but the problem with scoped classes are there 
  are semantic problems with them if they are not carefully used.

I'm working on adding destructors to structs, which I'm thinking should 
completely supplant scoped classes. RAII is a much more natural fit with 
structs than it ever will be for classes.
