This adds not much value: either take a reference type, or take an owned value and create references in the body.
///
/// For let bindings, `let x = &foo;` is preferred over `let ref x = foo`. The type of `x` is more obvious with the former.
///
/// **Known problems:** If the argument is dereferenced within the function, removing the `ref` will lead to errors. This can be fixed by removing the dereferences, e.g. changing `*x` to `x` within the function.
