What do you think about my `scope` proposal? It does not 
introduce any new syntax and should be somewhat in line with 
existing reference escape analysis.

By the way, Sonke Ludwig has recently named scope + 
unique/isolated qualifiers as one of more promising D 
improvements for vibe.d : "having this in the core language would 
open up a lot of potential for performance and safety 
improvements and I feel that it needs more advertisement to 
really reach the decision makers - and of course the general 
community"
