Marking this as WONTFIX.

A real fix would either:
1) Use `scope ref`, if it is ever implemented, or
2) Use the `auto ref` like so (to minimize template bloat):

template parse(Target, Source)
    if(/+constraints+/)
{
    private Target impl(ref Source s)
    {
        /+implementation+/
    }

    pragma(inline, true)
    Target parse(auto ref Source s)
    {
        return impl(s);
    }
}

The later should completely fix the problem, and be fully backwards compatible.
However, it would be a large diff and might confuse ddoc, too.
