          Issue ID: 22298
           Summary: [DIP1000] Nested function's scope parameters can be
                    assigned to variables in enclosing function
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

This makes possible to get a pointer to a local variable within an expired
stack frame:
---
void g(scope void delegate(scope int*)  safe cb)  safe {
        int x = 42;
        cb(&x);
}

void main()  safe {
        int* p;
        void f(scope int* i)  safe {
                p = i;
        }

        g(&f);
        // address of x has escaped g
        assert(*p == 42);
}
