```
public mixin template NonMovableOrCopyable ()
{
     @disable this ();
     @disable this (this);
     @disable ref typeof (this) opAssign () (auto ref typeof(this) 
rhs);
}
```

This will catch most mistakes at CT. However the language is 
technically free to copy / move structs at will (and interior 
pointers are forbidden).
A recent enough version of LDC (>= v1.20.0 IIRC, might be 
v1.22.0) will do a very good job at not needlessly moving things 
around.
See for example the discussion here:

DMD on the other hand is much more likely to not perform NRVO / 
move things, so be wary of compiler differences.
