"  There's no exception there for memory allocated in scope, nor should there be.

I'm not going to enter a debate on whether the LangRef is right here.  We can do that on llvm-dev or private conversation.  This patch is solely implementing the semantics as currently specified.

Does your LGTM still stand with that understanding?
