I like it. One issue though, like you also indicated by putting
question marks on it:
ref T get(T)()
{
T local;
return cast(out) local; // This shouldn't compile
}
Because, wouldn't returning a local variable as a reference be a
dangling reference in all cases? No matter if the programmer
claims it's correct by saying cast(out)... it just can't be
correct.
And T can be a type that has reference semantics or value
semantics, it doesn't matter. That function would always return a
dangling reference, were it allowed to compile.
