> Looks like the compiler has a blanket rule against taking the address of a ref return value if the value's type contains indirections.

```
int** p;

ref int* get() @safe
{
    return *p;
}

int** g1() @safe
{
    return &get(); // error
}
```

DMD could figure out get() does not return a scope pointer and allow taking the address of its return value.
