          Issue ID: 16504
           Summary: `dup` can't use storage calss `scope` for its
                    parameter in general
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: druntime
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: verylonglogin.reg gmail.com

Currently `scope` is documented [1] as

 references in the parameter cannot be escaped

and `dup` is called for unrestricted set of types so type's postblit can assign
references from the parameter to global variable thus violating `scope` storage
class assumptions as there is no such restrictions for postblits.

This issues is cause by druntime pull #1637 [2].
