           Summary: IFTI should imply const where inout is present on
                    args, but not on return type

example:

void foo(T)(T v)
{
}

inout(int)* bar(inout(int)* x)
{
    foo(x);
    return x;
}

bug.d(1): Error: inout on parameter means inout must be on return type as well
(if from D1 code, replace with 'ref')
bug.d(1): Error: variable bug.foo!(inout(int)*).foo.v inout variables can only
be declared inside inout functions
bug.d(7): Error: template instance bug.foo!(inout(int)*) error instantiating

It is safe for IFTI to assume all inout parameters are const instead of inout, since inout implicitly casts to const.

However, inout should still be used where it participates in the return type. For example, this currently-valid code should continue to compile:

T foo(T)(T v)
{
    return v;
}

inout(int)* bar(inout(int)* x)
{
    return foo(x);
}

By fixing 7105, it has been changed to valid code.
