This deprecated list
(http://dlang.org/deprecate.html#scope%20for%20allocating%20classes%20on%20the%20stack)
states that the "scope keyword" has been deprecated.
Are all these terms ("scope attribute", "scope keyword", and
"scope storage class") referring to the same thing?

D documentation has rather incosistent naming for attribute
groups.
- scope classes are deprecated, but usage of scope as storage
class is still legal (it is expected to be a no-op for now)
- scope storage class for function parameters is also accepted as
no-op. For delegates it actually has a meaning. No deprecation.
- scope statement as in scope(exit) was never suggested to be
deprecated.
- scope attribute most likely refers to declaration of scope
classes and this is deprecated with them
