What is the situation regarding the implementation of scope" in D, Walter? Are there some implementation difficulties that make it hard to implement?

Unrelated. Among the most important patches currently worked on, there are two by Kenji on fixing one of the largest holes in the D module system, and fixing the messy situation of properties:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2305
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2256

(If those two pull requests are successful, they will be the among the most significant improvements in the v2.064 release.)

It require to define lifetime of basically everything. This is a difficult task to both implement and define (probably defining is the hardest part). Consider temporary for instance, defining their lifetime is quite difficult especially since their creation can be conditional.
