It would be just another optimization.
I'd declare function(const arg) and that would be it.
Aliasing would kill that. We considered it.

I assume you're talking about this:

I guess, "difficult to figure" means that the notorious
sufficiently smart compiler is unrealistic. Too bad, because I
don't like the idea of adding verbosity (auto ref) for the common
case. pure and @safe already have that flaw, and I'd rather see
no more semi-compulsory keywords.
