I'm a bit confused now. It's your intention to create (worst case) 2^n permutations of the same function for each potential ref parameter (which would be the same behavior as 'auto ref') or that the compiler could pass big structs by ref without code bloat?
For some reason I doubt that's what he means. Seems more often than not only one or two parameter(s) need to be ref-able, so in most cases with 1 variable two (and only two) functions be made and it choose between the two based on the result. Larger than that and another method would have to be selected.
