VB -> C#: Passing variable with parenthesis to ByRef parameter should reclassify it to it's value

[Yozer]

VB.Net input code

Public Sub Main()
    Dim v As Integer = 5
    Test((v))
    Console.WriteLine(v) 'prints 5
End Sub

Public Sub Test(ByRef x As Integer)
    x = -1
End Sub

Erroneous output

public void Main()
{
    int v = 5;
    Test(ref v);
    Console.WriteLine(v); // prints -1
}

public void Test(ref int x) => x = -1;

Expected output

public void Main()
{
    int v = 5;
    int argv = v;
    Test(ref argv);
    Console.WriteLine(v); // prints 5
}
