Well, IIRC, rvalue-references are exactly what exactly what Andrei wants to
avoid due the large number of complications that the introduce to the
language. Ultimately, we want a solution in D that is simpler but still does
the job. We have simpler, but haven't quite sorted out the "still does the
job" part. I expect that we'll get there eventually, but we really should have
gotten there long before now and haven't.
