You can't assign a `ref` to a variable; if you try, a copy is

What you can do instead is use a pointer:
```d
Unique!myType* rs = &query();

Thanks. I feared that. So something like
```
ref T var = ...
```
does not exist (yet)?
No. ```ref``` can only be used as a function/template. or
```foreach``` parameter.
eg:
```d
void main()
{
ref int i;
}
error: variable `onlineapp.main.i` only parameters or `foreach`
declarations can be `ref`
```
