Of course not. We're stuck with duplicating const ref functions for now just 
like we have been. Recent changes to opEquals and opCmp just highlight it. But 
it _is_ something that we need to solve. To the layman at least, C++'s 
solution seems far superior to D's insistance that const ref actually be a 
ref. Apparently, there's a good reason not to, but most of us don't really 
understand it. Andrei is very passionate about it though.
