[OT] Microsoft filled patent applications for scoped and immutable types

[Max Klyga via Digitalmars-d]

Microsoft being microsoft again.

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2014/0196015.html - DECLARATION OF 
LIFETIME OF RESOURCE REFERENCE
This contains description of scoped classes, etc.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2014/0196008.html - IMMUTABLE OBJECT TYPES

I really hope patent office will reject these applications.
