Hello community,
Is it possible to accomplish the following using ref instead of
pointers? If so, please share an example.
The hard part is the `foreach` the simple answer is throw a ref before
`val`.
Define your data to impliment ranges... but then you lose indexing on
foreach
You can then use enumerate... but then you lose ref
Drop range entirely and you can interface with foreach with opApply, but
then you dont get map/reduce.

Ranges do not support indexing in truth(enumerate is fundamentally
incorrect after a filter) and foreach is opinionated about ranges.
the tradeoffs as I understand them:
1. use raw arrays, `foreach(i, ref v` is discouraged(there was a stupid
breaking change) but the community will fight tooth and nail on the subject
2. make your own enumerate with a ref index(refness on tuples)
3. define opApply with 2 arguments(delegates dont share the shared
refness issues of tuples)
Thank you very much monkyyy.
