# Templates

    template byaddr(lhs, typ, ex)

  Allows a syntax for lvalue reference, exact analog to `auto& a = ex;` in C++

  Example:

      var s = @[10,11,12]
      var a {.byaddr.} = s[0]
      a+=100
      doAssert s == @[110,11,12]
      doAssert a is int
      var b {.byaddr.}: int = s[0]
      doAssert a.addr == b.addr
