Regarding the return ref I found this code of 2019 on my harddisk
which is from or was motivated by a dconf talk:
```
ref int foo (ref int i)
{
return i;
}
ref int bar ()
{
int i;
return foo (i);
}
void main ()
{
import std.stdio;
auto i = bar;
i.writeln;
}
```
Up to dmd v2.100.2 I am warned/get an error during compilation:
```
$ dmd returnref2.d
returnref2.d(3): Deprecation: returning `i` escapes a reference
to parameter `i`
returnref2.d(1): perhaps annotate the parameter with
`return`
$ dmd -dip1000 returnref2.d
returnref2.d(3): Error: returning `i` escapes a reference to
parameter `i`
returnref2.d(1): perhaps annotate the parameter with
`return`
```
With later dmd versions (up to including v2.102.2) the code
compiles without complaints. Is this intended?
