It's very counter intuitive to mark the _function_ ref, rather than it's

It is a function attribute, so it makes perfect sense. The rest is an
issue of documentation/education.
I agree it may not be optimally intuitive, but I don't see any superior
syntactic options.
ref int a ();
const int b ();
const(int) c ();
"a" is function returning an int by reference.
"b" is a const function returning an int.
"c" is a function returning a const int.
Don't you see how it's confusing. Perhaps it would be better if "a" was
declared like this:
ref(int) a ();
