I don't really understand this.  Are they going to be gone or not?

In any case, can we at least keep them for unsafe D?  Stack allocation is  
not easy to do via placement new, the compiler is much better suited for  
it, and stack allocating classes can be a huge performance gain.  Until we  
get full escape analysis, scope classes are the only option.
