 - `ref readonly`: At any point, you cannot assign a value with the `=` operator to such a field. However, you can ref reassign a field with the `= ref` operator.
 - `readonly ref readonly`: You can only ref reassign such a field in a constructor or an `init` accessor. At any point, you cannot assign a value to the field.

+The `ref` fields feature enables a safe implementation of types like <xref:System.Span%601?displayProperty=fullName>:

+The `Span<T>` type stores a reference through which it accesses the contiguous elements in memory. The use of a reference enables a `Span<T>` instance to avoid copying the storage it refers to.

-In [`ref struct`](../builtin-types/ref-struct.md) types, you can declare fields that are `ref` fields. `ref` fields are valid only in `ref struct` types to ensure the reference doesn't outlive the object it refers to. This feature enables types like <xref:System.Span%601?displayProperty=fullName>:
-
-```csharp
-public readonly ref struct Span<T>
-{
-    internal readonly ref T _reference;
-    private readonly int _length;
-
-    // Omitted for brevity...
-}
-```
-
-The `Span<T>` type stores a reference through which it accesses the consecutive elements. A reference enables the `Span<T>` object to avoid making copies of the storage it refers to.
