It returns another return value with the new ref value.

For example, if you have the next c# class:
public class Class1
{
    public string DoSomething(ref string test)
    {
        test = test + "tamtamtam";

        return "return value";
    }
}

This is the IronRuby code you can write to use it:
>>> require 'c:\dev\TestApps\TestClass\TestClass\bin\Debug\TestClass.dll'
=> true
>>> c = Class1.new
=> TestClass.Class1
>>> str = "hello"
=> "hello"
>>> result = c.do_something(str)
=> ['return value', 'hellotamtamtam']

Pay attention that the result variable is an array that contains the method
return value as the first item and the ref value as the second parameter.
