Steven, I would not at all rely on your interpretation of this. It isn't at all clear to me that an "automatic ref" follows the "automatic" rules in terms of what is valid. Since use of a ref in contexts other than another ref association entails an implicit dereference, I don't think there should be an inferred application of "automatic" to the target of the ref. The ref itself is automatic, not the target. In short, I don't think that mantis 666 gives the restriction that we need; I certainly would not rely on your interpretation which leads to the restriction.
