The quote I'm going from, from IRC, is:

  Following Pareto's principle, both Return::MultiLevel and TryCatch only
  seem to use the unwind functionality of Scope::Upper.

I read this as, "the great majority of things that end up relying on
Scope::Upper do so for this particular feature."  (I also assume, but did not
confirm, that this considered n-th order dependents, rather than only 1st
order.)
