Despite its length, this is a fairly simple proposal. It adds the missing
semantics for the 'scope' storage class in order to make it possible to pass a
reference to a function without it being possible for it to escape.

Making it implicit and requiring an explicit "escape" for un-scoped variables?


Was afraid that would break too much code.

No, this is super important. Break it all! This kind of change will significantly increase the performance of D code by almost eliminating GC thrashing.

Having to type scope EVERYWHERE will make it unused and therefore unusable in other people's libraries.
