State of -preview=rvaluerefparam

[Manu]

Right, they are unrelated.

FWIW, -preview=rvaluerefparam is just kinda... sitting there. And probably
because I stopped aggressively pushing for progress. I used it plenty and
it's fine, but I can't release libs or whatever that uses it while it's
just a preview.

The question about 1040 though, isn't that DIP already like 3-4 years old?
It had community reviews, why is it stalled too? It's something D really
needs to not continue to die a slow death... which I fear has become
inevitable on the basis of progress failure.
