I count ten different parameter passing scenarios but I can't see the D
syntax for three of those. Have I got this right ...?

Parameter passing cases:

  Mechanism Parameter    Referenced   Pre-Init  D Syntax
  ---------+------------+------------+--------+--------------------
  by value  unmodifiable unmodifiable  n/a      final in
  by value  unmodifiable modifiable    n/a      const in
  by value  modifiable   unmodifiable  n/a      ???
  by value  modifiable   modifiable    n/a      in
  
  by ref    unmodifiable unmodifiable  n/a      final ref
  by ref    unmodifiable modifiable    n/a      const ref
  by ref    modifiable   unmodifiable  no       ???
  by ref    modifiable   modifiable    no       ref

  by ref    modifiable   unmodifiable  yes      ???
  by ref    modifiable   modifiable    yes      out
