At [1] Herb Sutter outlines his plans for simplifying C++'s
complexity. Good that they realize the importance of this.
Specifically there's a plan to copy the meaning of D's parameter
qualifiers `in`, `out` and `inout` (`ref` in D).
At 17:51 in [2], he interestingly mentions the rules for passing
`in` parameters where passing-type should be inferred just like
the newest update of `-preview=in` does.
He also mentions more inference of pass-by-move similar to what
Walter has proposed at [3]
