That still doesn't justify hiding it under auto ref. If it is 
rarely used then even if you add the attribute to the language it 
will be rarely used. Instead of explaining the new @rvalue 
keyword, we will be explaining the unnamed auto ref expansion. 
There is a difference between being naturally rarely used and 
inconveniencing people off of it.

When you have a bloat of names then fix the naming conventions. 
Hiding this under existing stuff like auto ref is like brushing 
it under the carpet.
