void test(scope ref int) { }
void main() { }

There is nothing wrong with passing something by reference with 'scope', so DMD should compile this.

Also, "scope out" (and even "scope lazy") should also work, since it is perfectly valid for both of them to say, "this parameter will not be escaped".

Does this bug report also cover the case of *returning* scope ref in order to make the following possible:

scope ref T opIndex(...);

For example in std.container.Array this is helpful in order to write

array[0].method()

because for by-value opIndex the method() is called on a *copy* of the first
element!

On the other hand returning by (the usual) ref prevents the container from being a 'sealed container' and hence the restriction would say:

"opIndex returns by reference but this reference may not be escaped but only be used to call a method (including operators) on the returned object."

That doesn't make much sense to me... I mean, I agree we need to be able to return scoped values, but given that scope is a storage class, I don't think applying it to a return type makes sense.
