If "out of scope" means that the access type gets out and if the
target type is controlled, then all allocated objects for which
Unchecked_Deallocation was not called will be destroyed (AARM 7.6.1).
If "out of scope" means an access object, then you need something like
smart pointers. For example:

Well, let me put it so: reference counting eliminates some errors by
introducing new errors. (:-))
