OK, Nickle is happy with this. But if I try to use it the
way I expected, I get troubles:
> f()
&3
> f() + 1
Unhandled exception invalid_array_bounds ("Element out of
range in reference addition", &3, 1)
<stdin>:3: f () + 1;
> *(f()) + 1

In short, for functions, Nickle seems to treat reference
returns just like pointer returns. I want it to be sugared
like with other kinds of locations:
> &int x = &3;
> x
3
> x + 1

Am I confused?
