The choosen syntax was "auto ref".
There is still a Pull which waits for completeness and merging 
(#1019).
It hurts this much because this issue is dicussed since a year 
and there is still no implemented solution. structs are now 
lvalues, so this error is fixed, but the rvalue ref is still 
missing. So struct usage is more unhandy as anytime before.

Oh I have a list, but the auto ref problem is my most favorite of 
missing features.
Another example would be the scope storage class (and with it 
also "in").
