As an alternative, we discussed defining an additional-scopes= modifier

kicking the problem of defining "explicit approval" off on others to
be simpler and less constraining.

If we changed the definition of <name> to include the "+" character, 
instead of "additional-scopes=" we could say "scopes+=", which, in its 
syntax and semantics, bears some oddly fitting resemblance to some 
programming languages' "add to" idiom.
