The Scope!() replacement for scope is not good enough yet:
1) The compiler doesn't test for escapes (as dmd currently naively does for scoped objects);
2) There is no way to denote a class that must be scoped;
3) There is this problem: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4500

I think Andrei's (wrong) strategy is to remove things first, and then try to invent ways to patch the holes left by the removed stuff. So far the idea of removing scope is a failure, it produces more problems than it solves.
