Description

Local variables are still supported though.

>>>def dobyref(ref x as int):
...    x = 4
...    
>>>x = 1
1
>>>dobyref(x)
----------^
ERROR: The best overload for the method 'Input2Module.dobyref(ref int)' is not compatible with the argument list '(int)'.
>>>// workaround
>>>{ y = x; dobyref(y); x = y }() // local closure variable y can be passed by ref just fine      
>>>x
4
