Not necessarily. It depends what exactly it means for a selector to
contain :scope for determining whether or not to enable the implied
:scope behaviour. Consider:
foo.find(":not(:scope)");
If that is deemed to contain :scope and turn off the prepending of
scope, making it equivalent to:
document.querySelectorAll(":not(:scope)", foo);
Then it matches every element in the document except the context node.
Otherwise, if it we decide that containing :scope means that it contains
a :scope selector that is not within a functional notation
pseudo-element, then it would prepend :scope, equivalent to:
document.querySelectorAll(":scope :not(:scope)", foo)
Then it matches all descendants of the context element.
In the latter case, then it would only ever be possible for matches to
be found as descendants, siblings or descendants of siblings of the
context element.
That would even be true in cases like:
foo.find("section:scope+div, div, ~p span, .x :scope>h1+span")
With the selector pre-processing, that selector becomes
"section:scope+div, :scope div, :scope~p span, .x :scope>h1+span"
