No, it's not. See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8490 for why
this would be a very bad idea. However 'void func(ref S s, ...){}' should (be
made to) work, at least for the UFCS case - if it already doesn't (old compiler
here...) - if 'func' is supposed to emulate a method then it should behave like
one.
