import std.stdio;

struct W(T) {
    T t;
}
auto wrap0(T)(auto ref inout(T) t) {
    return inout(W!T)(t);
}
auto wrap1(T)(auto ref inout(T) t) {
    return t;
}
void main() {
    pragma(msg, typeof(wrap0("foo"))); // removes it
    pragma(msg, typeof(wrap1("bar"))); // keeps it
    immutable int i0;
    pragma(msg, typeof(wrap1(i0))); // keeps it
    string s0 = "baz";
    pragma(msg, typeof(wrap0(s0))); // keeps it
}

prints:

immutable(W!(char[]))
immutable(string)
immutable(int)
W!string
