           Summary: A way to specify no ref parameter for value parameters

When having methods with value ref/out/inout parameters, it is not possible to
say that you don't want to pass one in the same manner that you can pass null
for reference/pointer types.

The workaround 

foo(int* bar)

does of course work, but it is very unfortunate in these SafeD times that
pointers must be used.
