You mean the conceptual errors you made when reviewing it? Like:

That the conflation of pass by reference to avoid copying and 
mutation is not only deliberate but also mitigated by @disable.

That the DIP applies to statements, not expressions.

That the construction order issue is trivially fixable, by 
specifying the same behaviour as the non ref case modulo ref.
