Another Bug:
If you try to cast a const Ref to his normal object like this

void foo(const Ref!(Foo) rf) {
     Foo f = cast(Foo) rf;
}

you get this error

"ref_test.d(121): Error: template 
ref_test.Ref!(Foo).Ref.Proxy!(_obj).opCast does
  not match any function template declaration
D:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\typecons.d(2796): 
Error: template ref
_test.Ref!(Foo).Ref.Proxy!(_obj).opCast(T,this X) cannot deduce 
template functio
n from argument types !(Foo)()"

After i changed line 2796 and made the opCast method "inout" it 
works as i want.
