We were working on that about more than a year ago when return 
ref landed. It didn't solve the escape problem for classes, but 
we have fairly solid understanding how a baseline implementation 
for unique, ref-counted, and weak-ref ownership should work.
Since those are primitives, we should be able to use them for the 
design of scope w/o a concrete RC.

If necessary, I can finish the rewrite to inform further 
discussion.
