While I don't really care about having ref local variables (it's possible in C++, and I almost never use them there - const & is pretty much the only way that I use references in C++), I _am_ curious as to why we ended up with ref for function parameters and foreach variables but not local variables. My _guess_ would be because of how a large percentage of C++ users do what I do and only use references for const & parameters, but I don't know. I may have to go digging through the archives to see if an explanation was given anywhere. - Jonathan M Davis
