Just re-read meeting notes, OK, cool on two scopes (seems like they are not
in the spec yet). Want to double-check though: whether it will be possible
to transpile now to ES3? From what I've seen in the notes, the head-scope
will be able to access `this` value of the activation, etc. Not sure how to
transpile now. Could someone give an example of a wrapper scope please, and
confirm whether it's transpilable now?

Good examples, but in order to answer I need to see the exact structure of
the head-scope. Because of `this` value I'm afraid it won't be static-time
transformable or something.
