=head1 NAME
KiokuDB::LiveObjects::Scope - Scope helper object
=head1 SYNOPSIS
{
my $scope = $dir->new_scope;
... do work on $dir ...
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Live object scopes exist in order to ensure objects don't die too soon if the
only other references to them are weak.
When scopes are destroyed the refcounts of the objects they refer to go down,
and the parent scope is replaced in the live object set.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item push
Adds objects or entries, increasing their reference count.
=item clear
Clears the objects from the scope object.
=item detach
Marks this scope as no longer the "current" live object scope, if it is the current one.
This allows keeping branching of scopes, which can be useful under long running
applications.
=item remove
Effectively kills the scope by clearing it and removing it from the live object set.
