borrowing solves certain class of issues that currently rely on convention,

I'm concerned that transitive borrowing will *preclude* a number of useful
cases.
Which is why `ref` itself can't be used for that and usage of `scope` as
qualifier is necessary to enable transitive behavior :)
True, but there comes a point where something gets complicated enough that
nobody understands it and the implementation gets full of bugs.
