I thought scope was deprecated, but I see that this is still here: http://dlang.org/attribute.html#scope

Is it just the uses on classes and local variables that are discouraged, but the use in a function signature will continue? in == const scope?

Using scope to allocate on the stack is what you are thinking of, but it was only marked for deprecation.

The usage of scope as a variable storage modifier to allocate classes on the stack is deprecated, and replaced with std.typecons.scoped.

The usage of scope as a parameter attribute is not deprecated, and is used to indicate that references to the parameter will not escape through this function call (ex. the function won't store the parameter in a global variable), though the only thing it affects at the moment is delegates.
