Well, what that would do would depend on what happens with gotos and try-
catch-finally blocks, because scope statements are lowered to try-catch-finally 
blocks. So, if you know what gotos do with them (and I personally have no idea 
how gotos affect stuff like destructors being run when you leave the scope, 
since you're not leaving it normally or properly), then you can figure it out 
by translating the scope statements to the set of try-catch-finally statements 
which would have the same semantics. gotos in such a context seem like a bit 
of a nightmare to me though.
