Is this an auto ref bug?

[Andrej Mitrovic]

Oh I've just realized I was being a little silly here. I don't need
ref for pointers. Essentially I was looking to make this:

auto ref unqual(T)(ref T value)
{
   return cast(Unqual!T)value;
}

do this:

char* unqual(const char* value)
{
   return cast(char*)value;
}

Except to make it work for any type. Which is why I thought auto ref
would do it. :)
