digitalmars.D.learn - Metaprogramming: check for ref

How can I:
1) check if function returns by ref
2) check if function parameters are ref
..outside of function body. Is parsing typeof(func).stringof only 
valid option?

See ParameterStorageClassTuple in std.traits
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html

I'm not sure about the return type though. Maybe the template should
be improved to add return type into account.

Unfortunately, return type issue is more important in my case. 
I'll check if implementation from ParameterStorageClassTuple can 
be adapted for return types though.

I think this should work:

template returnsRef(alias f)
{
     enum bool returnsRef = is(typeof(
     {
         ParameterTypeTuple!f param;
         auto ptr = &f(param);
     }));
}

Yep. We should add this to Phobos imo.

Was pull request fired for this? I'd like to subscribe to get 
noticed when this will be in the phobos. If not, would you mind 
if I add one?
