My parser accepts the following:

I wasn't really aware that this was illegal in DMD. (Other

In fact, even the following is disallowed:
int foo(int)ref{}


Should I file an enhancement request?

That doesn't fix the above mentioned problem, as ref bind to the 
variable rather than the type.

postfix ref is not accepted because it can only apply to the type 
I guess. This is one more example of design being unprincipled to 
boot.
