While working on 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/863 I have

I have started working on a fix but quick comparison of 
http://dlang.org/declaration.html#StorageClass vs 

have left me in confusion without clear understanding what 
parameter storage classes are supposed to be defined to.

There is also InOutX entry in grammar which lists some of storage 
classes and seems more relevant to parameter storage classes 
(i.e. includes ref).

Can someone give a more structured explanation: what is supposed 
to be a storage class, what is supposed to be a type storage 
class and what - a type qualifier? I'd like to update std.traits 
demanglers to the latest state of things, but grammar description 
does not seem clear enough.

http://dlang.org/declaration.html#StorageClass
InOutX is the list of 'syntactically allowed' keywords.

Among them, these four are supported as actual 'parameter storage 
classes'.

scope
out
ref
lazy

In current, 'in' is directly replaced to 'const', and it is 
treated as a part of parameter type.
'inout' is also treated as a type qualifier, and then is the same.
