No, I've explicitly stated that this obviously only affects 
non-PODs and large PODs. On Win64, `large` is already anything > 
8 bytes. Of course we don't want to pass an int by ref.

For people with C++ background they probably aren't. I doubt 
it'll increase the interest in D from Java/C#/JavaScript people.
[And a great design IMO doesn't include `T&&` meaning different 
things for a templated function and a regular function, but 
that's off-topic.]
