I've a bunch of 4x4 matrix routines in C, in order to avoid copying around multiple 4x4 matrices I pass pointers...

I'm assuming that in D it would make sense to use ref ?

what's going on behind the scenes with ref is it just a nice way of passing pointers with automagical dereferencing or is something more going on?

Yup, exactly!
