Please can we move on a solution to this problem? It's driving me insane. I can't take any more of this! >_<
Walter invented a solution that was very popular at dconf2013. I don't recall any problems emerging in post-NG-discussions. Ideally, we would move forward on a design for 'scope', like the promising (imo) proposal that appeared recently. That would solve this problem, and also many other existing safety problems, and even influence solutions relating to other critical GC/performance problems.
