While this might be feasible, it suffers from the same problem as 
manually writing out the try/catch/finally blocks that scope(...) lowers 
to -- You need to enblock all the covered code, add indentation, modify 
lines that are far away (e.g. to add a brace) etc.

That being said, I'd be happy with anything that helps here.
