Sadly, it's not fixed yet :(


struct S
{
     int x;
     inout(int)* getX() inout { return &x;}
}

void main()
{
     S s;
     int *x = s.getX();
}


testinout.d(10): Error: function testinout.S.getX () inout is not callable  
using argument types ()
testinout.d(10): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s.getX()) of  
type inout(int)* to int*

It appears the auto-conversion is not happening on the return, and also  
the call isn't working.

I'm surprised this was listed as an implemented feature...  Is there some  
test code that you were using to confirm this Walter?
