Yeah, I'd like both "lazy" and "ref" to be forced to be used

IMO requiring caller to specify ref, out or lazy would make D
programs more robust and easier to understand. And it is clearly
much easier, than, for example, would be repeating pure, nothrow,
safe, or even contracts at each call (any of these would not make
sence for me because they are enforced by the compiler).
Sorry if the above is confusing, I have difficulties to explain
it more clearly.
