           Summary: Allow `ref` in `foreach` over range iff `front`
                    returns by `ref`

Test code:
---
struct S1
{
     property bool empty();
     property int front();
    void popFront();
}

struct S2
{
     property bool empty();
     property ref int front();
    void popFront();
}

void main()
{
    static assert( __traits(compiles, { foreach(    n; S1()) { } }));
    static assert(!__traits(compiles, { foreach(ref n; S1()) { } })); // fails
    static assert( __traits(compiles, { foreach(ref n; S2()) { } }));
}
---

When `front` doesn't return by `ref` it means returned value is a temporary and
its modification is nonsense. In such case `ref` in `foreach` should be
rejected.
