escaping addresses of ref parameters - not

I've used ref arguments in the past to wrap a C api that expects
pointers. I'm fine with this so long as there is a way to break out of
it (in regular D, at least) that makes it abundantly clear you need to
know what you're doing.
Something like:
void wrapSomeCApi(ref Foo arg)
{
Foo* argptr = ref_unsafe_escape(arg);
some_c_api(argptr);
}
Incidentally, I don't suppose we can get ref variables while Walter's at
it? :P
