The ref and deref keywords should be used to construct reference types and dereference reference types. This issue involves the parsing, type checking, and code generation of reference types.

In #236, we made the ref and deref keywords require a space after them in the grammar. This is not elegant and of course offends our delicate programmer sensibilities. This issue should also encapsulate removing that space by either:

  1. adding a little lexer pass afterwards that handles it
  2. switching to &* instead of ref/deref
  3. something else??
