I believe that it's the replacement for using scope on local variables, which is 
going away. Essentially, it makes it so that the object is on the stack instead 
of on the heap, and it's destroyed when the object goes out of scope. It's an 
unsafe feature, and the library solution is quite new, I believe, so I'm not 
sure that it's really supposed to show up in the docs yet. However, it returns 
out, which currently _never_ shows up in ddoc-generated files due to a bug in 
ddoc. So, even if it were fully ready for use and tested to death, it still 
wouldn't show up in the documentation.
