Copy constructors and binding rvalues to references have come up several 
times throughout the years and has always been rejected. Now we have 
copy constructors in the language and most likely binding rvalues to 
references soon.

The funny thing though, is that at the first D conference Walter 
presented a talk about D2 (if I recall correctly) that included AST 
macros as one of the features. Not sure what or who changed his mind 
about that.
