I would dearly like to see this done too.

Two (probably stupid) questions:

1.  Is #nospam slang for #scope in N1614, or is it something similar  
but different?

2.  Do we have a standards leg to stand on here?  I truly hope  
something like #scope makes it into C++0X.  What is our current  
policy regarding really useful but not-yet-standard functionality  
like this?  I'm asking in the context of your recent (and reasonable)  
posting regarding move semantics.
