--- Comment #10 from Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisProg at gmx.com> ---
There is no guarantee that the result of toStringz does not escape the
function, so using in for parameter to toStringz would be fundamentally wrong,
since in implies scope. And since scope hasn't been fully implemented, the
problem wouldn't even be caught. Rather, we risk ending up with such code
breaking when scope actually gets fully implemented - which is why I'd argue
that using in is almost always bad. We should just avoid using scope and in
until they're properly implemented IMHO.
