scope is _supposed_ to affect all reference types. The fact that it doesn't is
a bug in dmd.

Regardless, I would have expected that in would literally be replaced with
const scope during the compilation process rather than using it directly in any
way. And given that in is supposed to be an alias for const scope, the fact
that in is being handled directly rather than being converted to const scope
before being processed probably should be changed.

This is difficult issue. Because, with current dmd, scope parameter does
affects only for delegate types. For other types, it has no meaning.

Furthermore, the equality 'in' == 'const scope' is almost a lie.
In semantic phase, 'in' storage class is directly translated to 'const' storage
class, then affects to the parameter type. There is no appearance of 'scope'.

  void foo(const scope void delegate() dg){}
  void bar( in void delegate() dg){}
  pragma(msg, typeof(foo));  // void(scope const(void delegate()) dg)
  pragma(msg, typeof(bar));  // void(const(void delegate()) dg)

Therefore, it seems to me that the mangling difference is just for backward
compatibility. It is almost redundant, but does not existing code...
