Yeah, the whole function duplication thing is pretty bad. Auto 
ref should just create a wrapper that forwards, and the 
implementation always operate on references.

With this approach in mind, auto ref for functions should be 
trivial, in thé sense that the function is compiled normally as a 
non template that takes refs, and the compiler only generates 
code/templates to capture r values.
