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 are not quite equivalent to "in" 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.

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