True. I'm just thinking we'll end up in the same position as closures in
5.3 where scope support is sorely missing and I have to deal a lot with
apps having to still support 5.3 and doing weird tricks because of that
lack of support. OTOH, implementing it may not be easy as we have to
reconcile 2 scopes there. Not a reason not to do it (I voted yes :) but
a reason to prioritize fixing it soon.
