If you've got a case, make it. If you see problems, explain. If
you want to help, please do.
I did so repeatedly for years and never reached to you or Andrei,
so I'm not sure how that's going to change anything but here you
go.
The root problem you are trying to solve is to be able to specify
that what comes out of a function has a common property with what
come in. In the case of inout, this property is the type
qualifier, in the case of return/scope this is the lifetime.
Same problem, same solution, same fallout.
