Seems fairly easy to tell apart, and still leaves const-ness as
an option.
Afaik C++ doesn't allow rvalues to be passed to _mutable_
references (T&), only to const references, making perfect sense
imo. I really do not see the point for an additional syntax for
C++-like const references (const T&) which would also take
rvalues.
Please give me an example where you want to pass an rvalue to a
_mutable_ reference parameter. I would simply continue to
disallow that, since that would mean that changes to the
referenced rvalue would not be visible for the caller (a
temporary/literal is changed - how could someone possibly want
that?).
