What should hinder &infix:{'='}:(Ref, Int: --> Int) to exist and be
usefull at least if the Ref is known to something that derefs it
and then finds the new referee? On the Perl6 language level references
are a means to share values. Don't mix that with the implementation
level references---which should be called pointers---that allow an
efficient implementation of handling heavyweight data.
