This sounds like a positive idea, maybe fit for an enhancement request.
No, reference types are not necessarily heap allocated. Guys, the
distinction is heap vs. manual, not reference vs. value. Value types can
be on the heap, and references can refer to non-heap data.
Adding artificial restrictions that force casting are not going to help at
all.
