This also affects non-nested functions. For example:

---
ref int* getRef(return ref scope int* p) @safe
{
        return p;
}

void main() @safe
{
        int n;
        scope int* p;
        getRef(p) = &n;
}

I'm not sure if it's feasible to accept code like this without a full-blown
lifetime system like Rust's, but it would certainly be convenient if we could.
