given the function:

this does not compile:
char[] sezar = new char[65];
ceaser_enc(key, sezar.ptr);
by yielding: "cannot pass rvalue argument cast(char*)sezar of type char*
to parameter ref char* output"
Why is sezar an rvalue in the second case?
Not 'sezar' but sezar.ptr is an rvalue. Imagine ptr() being a function
that returns a value:
T* ptr() {
// ...
}
That pointer is an rvalue and D disallows binding them to 'ref' parameters.
In the first case, 'sezar' is a local variable, which is an lvalue.
