--- Comment #7 from Basile-z <b2.temp at gmx.com> ---
There are tricks to generate the ref version or not:

---
void foo(T)(ref auto T v)
{
    pragma(msg,__PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
}

alias intByVal = typeof(foo(0));
alias intByRef = typeof(foo(*new int));

struct S{}

alias sByVal = typeof(foo(S()));
alias sByRef = typeof(foo(*new S()));  
---

> void runnable.foo!int.foo(int v)
> void runnable.foo!int.foo(ref int v)
> void runnable.foo!(S).foo(S v)
> void runnable.foo!(S).foo(ref S v)

But the error message is not encouraging.
