           Summary: aliasing a ref type is not possible
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

alias ref int rint;

rint foo() { static int x; return x; }

void main()
{
    auto p = &(foo());
}

This doesn't work. It led me to write the ugliest code I have ever written.
Search std.range for "mixin" if you want to see ugly stuff.
