Are you suggesting two kinds of scope - transitive and
non-transitive?
The more I think about it, the more ref counting is the
definitive case, as just about everything else can be explained
in terms of how ref counting works.
I don't see applicability of non-transitive scope because I don't
understand the problem with the tree or reference counting you
have mentioned - that is why I suggested to amend DIP to put
explanation there.
