Please don't use pass-by-pointer in D APIs. It makes it a real  
*nightmare* to ever use the code in a safe context.

This is similar to getopt and readf. I think it's a good way to show that  
a reference is being passed.

But you are right, you are not allowed to take addresses of locals in safe  
code. It looks decidedly less nice than pointers IMO.
