It was part of a much longer discussion on Reddit, few weeks ago. 
"scope" is a blunt tool compared to the region analysis of Rust. 
But this is not important, even less powerful tools can be 
useful, and they can be much more useful than not having them at 
all.

I'd like someone to write a DIP for scope (I am not able to write 
it), and then discuss it a little (in another thread, because 
here it's off-topic), to see what it's supposed solve, and what 
it's not supposed to solve.
