I have to say I get a little bit anxious with people saying it 
needs to be removed or replaced.

Not pretending it is sane to use - although I have grown 
accustomed to it - but the fact you can safely take refs to 
things is amazing. Both from a performance perspective as well as 
being able to implemente things like non-copyable types (which 
you then safely share via ref).

Would be a real shame to see that go. Which won't stop me of 
course, except it won't be @safe anymore. :(
