If this ever gets implemented on the compiler, I might be tempted to
change my middle name to TempRef or however the D-Spec keyword gets
named as.

You missed his point. Sometimes MM is packed, sometimes it is in

formats. He lamented that he'd need a different procedure for each

format

(and potentially for each permutation of possible combinations).

What would solve this problem would be a new style of pass-by-reference
parameter, where the compiler would create a temporary of the type
required by the prototype. It would assign the passed parameter to the
temporary before the call, pass the temporary to the procedure, and then

assign the temporary back to the passed parameter after the call.
