Perhaps look at how rvalue references are implemented 
under-the-hood in existing C++-to-native-code compilers, and use 
a similar technique in your C++-to-D compiler? After all, there 
is no such thing as an "rvalue reference" in assembly either.

Of course, this means you will have to do some semantic analysis 
on the C++ code to figure out when a parameter is being passed by 
rvalue reference, and translate it accordingly.
