---- void main() { scope const int[] arr = new int[100]; } ---- Compiles but: ---- void main() { in int[] arr = new int[100]; } ---- fails with: Error: found 'in' instead of statement Since 'in' is the same as 'const scope' both should compile or fail.

At least it should give a better error message like "only parameters can be marked with 'in'"

In, according to the spec, can only be used on function parameters. Only in that context is "in" treated as const scope or just scope. Therefore, in cannot be used in all contexts `scope const` is. This bug report is invalid.
