digitalmars.D.learn - references as return value?

Hello!

I looked for the possibility to return references like in C++, but I did not
find anything.

Is it possible to return references in D?
If yes, how?
If no, why not?

Thanks!

Very good question

D 2 will /probabely/ have support for refrences.
Actually you have to use pointers instead.
