If "in" is equivalent to "scope const". What "scope" means? Does it mean that
this argument doesn't escape scope of this function? Then "const" parameters

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but the definition of 'in' as
'scope const' is a vestige from the original const system that was in
D2 and 'scope' no longer really means anything.

Could someone please verify that statement.

If so, 'scope' should be removed from Function Parameters at
