The main idea behind rvalue types and their name, is that they 
are types that can only ever be rvalues, not by convention, but 
through the type system.

I agree that most rvalue types will be proxy types, but it is not 
necessarily the case, nor is a proxy type necessarily an rvalue 
type. I don't want to conflate the two when discussing the 
'rvalue-only' aspect.
