It would be nice to have some sort of 'contracts scope' shared between `in` and `out`.
I'm looking a way to implement something like this:

ubyte[] foo(ubyte[] src, inout ubyte[] dst)
in
{
    auto ptr = dst.ptr;
}
out
{
    if (ptr != dst.ptr) wtitefln("dst reallocated");
}
body
{
    ....

The only thing I can think of is maybe use a private global variable.

private ubyte[] _foo_ptr;
ubyte[] foo(ubyte[] src, inout ubyte[] dst)
in
{
    _foo_ptr = dst.ptr;
}
out
{
    if (_foo_ptr != dst.ptr) writefln("dst reallocated");
}
body
{
    ....

Not an ideal solution, and it's not thread-safe, but should be OK.
