1), 2) ref/out params

C#: bool TryGetValue(string key, out int value)
Ruby call: result, value = dict.try_get_value('key')

I.e. arguments for out parameters are omitted, the values returned via out 
parameters are stored in an array returned by the method. The return value of 
the method is the first element of that array and is followed by out and ref 
parameter return values in the order in which they are declared. 

Another example:
bool Foo(string a, out string b, string c, ref string d, string e, out string 
f);

result, b_out, d_out, f_out = foo('a_in ', 'c_in ', 'd_in', 'e_in ')

3)

This is a bug. I have a fix for it, so it will work soon.
However, I'd strongly recommend not to use mutable structs. The struct data are 
copied when boxed/unboxed and it might not be obvious where this happens - for 
example if you pass a struct instance from Ruby to C# method that accepts it as 
a strongly typed parameter the struct get unboxed and its data are copied.
