Even if Singleton.instance returns by ref, s object is still

The struct is allocated using "new".
This is about "auto s = " in main, not about "new" in method.
Type of s is Singleton, not Singleton* or "ref Singleton".
Singleton s = Singleton.instance; // is compiled when
Singleton* s = Singleton.instance; // is not - Error: cannot
implicitly convert // expression (instance()) of type Singleton
to Singleton*
