in which case, there's an ambiguity, and I would then expect UFCS to
_not_ compile when using S*, or you'd risk function call hijacking.
That's not necessarily a big deal, but it _does_ complicate things a
bit.

I think moreso is would if it would convert to ref automatically or
not rather than worry about pointers. True if you wanted all three, then
the language has to keep them all distinctly different; But if it
silently converts it should be okay (so long as constness/immutable is
honored). Assuming that's the case:
//these two effectively identical
void func(S* s, int i) {...}
void func(ref S s, int i) {...}
What if the first function is in library A and the 2nd function in library
B and they do two totally different things?
