Wow.  That's it?  So let's get it done already!  This is really a
shame to have this hanging around in a language whose biggest selling
point over the competition is speed.   It's been shown many times that
DMD's failure to inline ref args has significant impact (~10%) on the
performance of numerical code.  If you can easily give these kinds of
code a 10% boost without too much effort then that's a big win in my
opinion.
