But why can't it compose? We need to propagate compile time
information. We already have propagation when we use `const` methods.
I previously suggest using `requires` for this but it could be a new
contextual keyword like:

```
//Foo.h
class Foo
{
    X x;
    ~Foo() scope_fail;
    ~Foo() scope_success;
};
```
As this keyword is part of a signature, in other compilation units we
still know what context it is.
```
//Foo.cpp
Foo::~Foo() scope_fail
{
};
```
Now `X` could calls `X::~X() scope_fail;` or if it does not exist then
`X::~X()`.
Only problem is that you need to propagate "scope" for the whole hierarchy,
the same as we need to propagate `const`.
Interesting case would be `std::optional<Foo>` (or other containers)
but this could be handed by
calling the destructor directly like `x.~Foo() scope_fail;`.

This would need update of std types but it should not be breaking changes
as a new specialid destructor could be behind `requires` and new type trait.
