I talked about exactly this in another thread: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/ctvstjuzjayimyxwsugg@forum.dlang.org

If I'm not mistaken this was written after Rust decide for 2 ~ 3 
years review of the language, instead of carrying bad design for 
the rest of their lives.

I think if Rust succeeded with their plan, C++ will move in this 
way pretty fast.
