When I was coding In C sharp, I defined a generic class called 
`Ref` that I used when I wanted to pass structs by reference, and 
also as my nullable type. I didn't like the standard nullable 
type because I couldn't change my structs in place with it. 
Admittedly this was largely because I was stubborn and wanted to 
use structs as in D (meaning: when I didn't want polymorphism) 
instead of using classes for many of those things like C# 
designers probably intended.

Reading your experience I wonder if mine was actually the best 
way to go about the nullable type.
