❔ Determine what variable is being referenced
I come from a primarily C++ background, and I take it C# is trying it's best to hold my hand and keep me from shooting myself in the foot, but I don't entirely understand local reference variables due to their limitations. In C++, I can determine whether a pointer is referencing something by comparing it's value against another address. 
if (somePtr == &someVar) { ... }
if (somePtr == &someVar) { ... }
How would I accomplish the same thing with local reference variables in C#? 
int someVar = 0;
ref int someRef = ref someVar;
// how can I determine someRef is still referring to someVar?
int someVar = 0;
ref int someRef = ref someVar;
// how can I determine someRef is still referring to someVar?
