Does that make sense?
Whether it makes sense is subjective, but it is by design. Escape analysis considers every pointer the same, it doesn't care about the type / mutability of the pointer. In `@system` / `@trusted` code, you could coerce `i` to become a string and return it:
```D
string foo(string s, return ref int i)
{
return (cast(immutable char*) &i)[0..4];
}
```
