One way to do this would be to add a new compiler check: @localnogc (can 
call methods that are not @nogc, but cannot do any direct calls to GC 
like new (apart from exceptions)).

It is something that has been on my mind for a while now. But that 
wouldn't help for forcing the caller You'd still need to use scope on 
the parameter.
