So scope for class references guarantees that the destructor is called upon leaving the scope (why isn't this done automatically?).

But what if scope is used with basic types like scope int x;
What's the effect?

There is none.  The compiler will accept meaningless attributes.  It's a point of contention.

It will be disastrous to automatically delete all referenced objects.
