void main() {
  size_t cnt;
  foreach(ulong n; 0 .. 10)
  {
    ++n;
    ++cnt;
  }
  assert(cnt == 10);

  cnt = 0;
  foreach(ref ulong n; 0 .. 10)
  {
    ++n;
    ++cnt;
  }
  assert(cnt == 5);
}

As this is rewritten in terms of a for loop all writes to n will
alter the loop.
A hidden copy of n is needed for non-ref parameters to match the range
foreach semantic.
