Yeah, I'm rather curious about this. Given that we don't have a list of
lexical scope children in their parent scope, the only reason a lexical
scope even stays alive is by virtue of its children (instructions,
variables, etc) staying alive within it - if all the children go away, the
lexical scope should be dropped or otherwise never be seen/reached.
