New candidate JEP: 464: Scoped Values (Second Preview)

[Eric Kolotyluk]

Wow, great introduction. I never really grokked Thread Local Variables 
before, but now it makes much more sense with this explanation. And, I 
can easily see why Scoped Values are better in most cases.

As an aside, someone noted, I forget where, that Scoped Values are a 
little like 'implicits' in Scala, now 'given' and 'using.' I have never 
really liked implicit in Scala, mostly because it was abused so 
frequently, but this JEP better explains the use case.

Thanks.
