I've submitted https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11889 on

Array returns a value by design.
It's my design. The rationale for returning by value has since vanished.
The idea was to make impossible to take addresses of elements inside
containers (I still plan to write an article "sealed containers" at some
point). However, Walter and I decided to ban taking the address of ref
returns since (currently not enforced).
