Considering all the arguments both recently and when the feature 
was first implemented, I find it unlikely that everyone will ever 
agree to one solution.

Are there any strong arguments against making the scope 
*optional*? The cost of implementation should be quite low, both 
compared to the complexity of the feature itself and the 
complexity of all the *different* workarounds people already use 
to hide the symbols.
