With the last beta, there was a discussion in changing how ref and const ref 
works to allow rvalues while disallowing whatever use cases it is that causes 
problems with that in C++. If that gets sorted out and fully implemented, then 
you'd only need one overload. As it stands, the closest that you could get 
would be to use auto ref, but that only works with templated functions.
