ref foo() {} And ref void foo() {} Compiles ok, but shouldn't i think.

This is a particular case of nonsense attributes. The biggest pile is an issue 3934

Quoting Mathias's argument from Issue 3934 (which was closed as invalid): "DMD being lax, while unsettling to some, is also great for generic code. There are quite a lot of cases where DMD being stricter would result in worst code because it would require some special casing in generic code." Closing as invalid.
