Returns
An opaque scope identifier that can be used with SetScopeRange(Int32, Int32, Int32) to define the start and end offsets of a scope at a later time. In this case, the offsets passed to OpenScope(Int32) and CloseScope(Int32) are ignored. A scope identifier is valid only in the current method.
