Walter's initial post implies that he wanted to re-used `ref` for borrowed

'ref' already is to much extent, for example:
@safe int foo(ref int x) {
auto a = &x;
return 3;
}
dmd foo -c
foo.d(4): Error: cannot take address of parameter x in @safe function foo
This has nothing to do with `ref`. If you remove the `ref` you get the exact
same error.
Right, but the thing is, the only address of a local/parameter you can take is
by ref, not &.
