Thanks. It would appear indeed that inference fails for some 
reason. Explicitly marking args as 'scope' for `writeln` and 
`File.write` lets them compile. I wonder if there's a way to find 
exactly what it is in either of those that prevents the compiler 
from inferring 'scope'.

The signatures of `std.stdio.writeln` and `local` are the same (see 
`writeln` [1]). Yet, with '$ dmd -preview=dip1000' the call to `local` 
compiles, while the call to `writeln` doesn't.

Is that an instance of [2]?
