Hi,
Please excuse the cross-post with D.learn. People have been helpful
there with workarounds, but I'm bringing it here in the hope that we
can discuss a language enhancement.
So - could support for 'ref' local variables be added, or is there a
reason not to?
This has been requested in the past. In order to convince Walter, it
is helpful to examine past failed arguments. Try a search on the
newsgroups archive.
You also have to show why it's better to do it via the language than
via the library. I think Simen's solution in the D.learn thread is
pretty compelling.

Sorry, but it sounds plain masochistic to import a module and then
instantiate a template every time you want quick access to variable in
non-trivially indexed array.
I disagree, this doesn't look that bad:
auto tile = refOf(map[y*w+x]);
If you're saying that importing a module to do this is too much, I think
you will have an uphill battle convincing Andrei/Walter.
