           Summary: CodeView: debug info for return type of ref return
                    function
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

Given:

int x;
ref int foo() { return x; }

The win32 codeview debug information for foo's type has the return type as 'int', presumably because 'ref' is a storage class which applies to the function.

Does it make sense to propagate the refness of the function to the return type when outputting debug info, as is done for the parameters?
