I've followed this thread since it was made as this has been one 
of the very few disappointments of the language for me. I only 
tend to write game code and use D for hobbyist projects whilst 
using C++ full-time as a junior at a small games company. Even if 
I take the attitude that I should use D as it is intended, 
instead of trying to write C++ by using D, it always felt 
unnecessarily obstructive to require me to make a temporary 
variable to avoid copying something simple like a vector or a 
matrix. It feels very restrictive when trying to express 
mathematical calculations in a concise manner.

Thanks for writing that DIP, you have covered everything I would 
love to see in great detail with good examples! I honestly 
couldn't think of anything more that could be added.
