Hi all,

Please consider the following program:
void main() {
    int array[13];

    int[] internalFunc() {
        return array;
    }
}

This code does not compile (dmd 2.066.1), claiming:
test.d(5): Error: escaping reference to local array

The way I see it, the array in question is in scope anywhere the function is, and as such, this error is a false positive.

Thoughts?

compiles fine in 2.067.

Interestingly, adding neither @system nor @trusted to the inner function solves this problem.
