There are limitations this proposal has in comparison to my

One concern I had with your proposal was that it refers to a
symbol before it's available.
scope!haystack(string) findSubstring(scope(string) haystack,
scope(string) needle)
C++11 had similar issues and they solved it by introducing
trailing return types.
ex:
"template<class T>
auto mul(T a, T b) -> decltype(a*b)"
Personally I would prefer not to go down that lane and DIP69
avoids that problem.
