Details

A scope is atomic when it uniquely tied to a specified entity or when it is directly created by the user. By the set-theoretic definition of scopes, a scope is atomic when it's key contains only one atom.
A scope is atomic specifically whenever it satisfies any of these conditions:
1. It is a scope tied to a buffer and returned by buffer_get_managed_scope
2. It is a scope tied to a view and returned by view_get_managed_scope
3. It was created by a call to create_user_managed_scope
