Is this preferred design pattern?

```
int main()
{
        int a = 1;
//ref int b = a; // Error: variable `tst_ref.main.b` only parameters or `foreach` declarations can be `ref`
        ref int b() { return a; }
        b = 2;
        assert(a == 2);
        return 0;
}
```

It's okay, but I'd prefer an alias, because your snippet uses the heap needlessly (it puts variable a into heap to make sure there will be no stack corruption if you pass a pointer to function b() outside the main() function)
