Being able to get an alias to (ref int) seems like a bug.
you are unable to alias it, `ref` will be erased on aliasing.
the only way to retain it is to have a tuple with it. that
trick aliases *function* *argument* *tuple*, not a single type.
yeah, `ref` is very special beast. but it is still type
modifier. ;-)
Unless I can write "alias refint = ref int;", this should not be
a feature at all... how did anyone think this is a good idea.
Seriously I used to love D but now it's just a mess of hacks...
