Thanks for posting that. Reading over the code I'm reminded that
I never cared whether something was an rvalue or lvalue before
writing D code.
It's off topic, but I forget why managing memory for rvalues* was
pushed onto the programmer and not handled by the compiler. I'm
sure there is a good reason but it does seem like a symmetry
breaking requirement.

*or was it lvalues, I can never keep the two separate. Wish the
some other terminology was adopted long ago, such as "named" vs.
"ephemeral".
