digitalmars.D.learn - Can't print inout parameter

The example below fails to compile:

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

void main ()
{
     foo(1);
}

If I remove the call to "writeln" it compiles.

I don't know if this is the official method, but writeln(cast(const)x); works. Trying to get answers at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17460065/how-to-print-inout-parameters
