I use the "trick" with the temporary. But why introduce rather a 
new attribute?
I thought the real reason why auto ref was first introduced was 
to solve the rvalue ref problem. Now we could do it. So what's 
wrong with auto ref for non-
template functions?
I'm afraid that the introducing of a new attribute means to spend 
a lot of time. Is that really needed? :/ Or am I wrong?

Good to know.

I haven't heard of it.
Would be very nice if you could do it and post the link. :)
