An official decision would mean that Walter had been involved in it, and that hasn't happened. IIRC, Andrei said something positive about the temporary approach when it was brought up, but AFAIK, no official decision has been made. It's just that it became clear when discussing it that if we wanted to go with the temporary trick (which looks like the best solution), it really should apply to both templated and non-templated functions and that auto ref needs to retain its current meaning for templated functions, which then means that we need a new attribute. I suppose that we could always create a DIP for it though. - Jonathan M Davis
