The left-hand side violates a promise: The function takes a slice where 
the elemenst are const. So, the function says that it will not modify 
the elements.

Also, _buffer[read] is an element, not a slice:

     private T[cap] _buffer;

So, there is no .ptr property.

However, perhaps my test code fails to demonstrate your problem:

     auto s = StaticRingBuffer!(int, 10)();

     int i;
     int*[] arr;
     arr ~= &i;
     s.get_ref(0, arr);

Please show us complete code. :)
