struct S
{
    inout(int) foo() inout
    {
        return a;
    }

    int a;
}

// D import file generated from 'bug3.d'
struct S

    inout inout(int) foo()
{
return a;
}
    int a;
}

Compiling a method with 'inout inout(int) ident()'
will cause the following error.
Error: inout on return means inout must be on a parameter as well for
inout(int)()

It seems that the language requires the method attribute to follow
the parameter list.

But the header gen will output the inout in front of the return type.
The error message should be better in any case.
