I am thinking about the protocolMappers screen. Just add another "type" 
of protocolMapper. This means that we don't need to add another 
concept/modelType just for scope parameter, but still we can easily 
filter/view the available mappers of type 'scope aggregator' (on the 
screen with list of all protocolMappers).

I am thinking that for roles, you will select the roles in same way, 
like it's in current "Scopes" tab of client (or "role mappings" tab of 
user). Probably very similar UI can be used for selecting "children" 
mappers of current protocolMapper though? Something like "Available 
mappers" and "Assigned mappers" and buttons like "Add selected" and 
"Remove selected". Also similarly like for roles, you can view in 
"Effective mappers" the list of all effective mappers in case that you 
have more composed aggregated scopeAggregatorMappers.

For example, if you have mapper for scope parameter "full-profile", 
which will have children mappers, that will point to other scope 
aggregated mappers : "profile" , "email" and "phone". Hence in 
"Effective mappers" for "full-profile" you will see all the descendants, 
not just the direct children. So you will see also all the simple 
attribute mappers like "firstName", "lastName", "birthday", "phone 
number", ...

Yes. I think that we should provide those built-in, which are specified 
by OIDC specification. Which is "profile" , "email" , "phone" , 
"address". And we will need to define mappers for all their simple 
attributes ( "birthday", "gender" , ...) . Those simple mappers like 
"birthday" won't be root mappers by default, so they won't be applied 
unless the scope parameter is used (for their parent scopeAggregatorMapper).

For backwards compatibility, we will still use the same 'simple' mappers 
like now ( username, email, full name, family name, given name) and they 
will be added to token by default. The scopeAggregator mappers (and 
their corresponding children) will be applied just if the scope 
parameter with corresponding value will be used.

Yes (see above)
