List list() @trusted

    return List(malloc(1));
}

void test() @safe
{
    Elem elem;
    {
        //scope l = list(); // works with explicit scope
        auto l = list(); // not inferred as scope
        elem = l.front; // escapes, b/c l isn't scoped
    }

----

Repeatedly ending up with this problem. It doesn't seem possible to contain
allocated data, as there is now way to enforce that the call-site uses a scope
variable.
