Description johanengelen 2020-11-03 23:21:38 UTC 
At  https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#param-storage  it is unclear what the meaning of `in` is, because of the last sentence "This requires the -preview=in switch, available in v2.094.0 or higher." What does "This" refer to?
Please reformulate, for example by:

"The parameter is an input to the function. Input parameters behaves as if they have the const scope storage classes....
When `-preview=in` switch is passed to compiler, the semantics become:
The parameter is an input to the function. Input parameters behaves as if they have the const scope storage classes....
"

Fixed in https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/2937 by making it the start of the section (and its own section).
