That there's no immutability involved? That would be an incredibly misleading
choice. Not to mention, you can probably have a perfectly valid immutable ref
right now if you want to pass a an immutable variable by ref, and using
immutable ref for this would change its semantics. We probably just need an
@something attribute with a good name.
