    <remarks>
      <para>A <see cref="T:System.TypedReference" /> is a type/value combination used to support variable argument lists (as used by C++, for example), among other things. <see cref="T:System.TypedReference" /> is a built-in value type that can be used for parameters and local variables.</para>
      <para>Arrays of <see cref="T:System.TypedReference" /> cannot be created.</para>
      <para>A <see cref="T:System.TypedReference" /> cannot be boxed as it contains ByRefs, so it cannot reside on the heap.</para>
