Why can't we simply make auto ref work with non-templated

What problems does this cause? Why haven't we just done this
already?
What does this generate?
auto foo(auto ref S a, auto ref S b, auto ref S c, auto ref S d)
{ ... }
16 different functions, one for each combination? Sounds like a
bad idea.
And if that doesn't work, can we simply make it so that the
compiler
automatically creates a variable when you pass an rvalue to a
non-templated
auto ref function?
I don't see any problems with this, but I admittedly haven't
thought too much about it.
