There may be other important patterns to address at the core, please chime in. I consider (1) above easy to tackle, which leaves us with at least (2). My opinion is that any proposal for binding rvalues to ref must offer a compelling story about these patterns.
Yes ! With optional parenthesis, it is super unclear if we access an lvalue or an rvalue and update its content or not.
A good example of that is the captures property from std.regex. The property is an revalue, and would look like a filed that reset itself all the time if bound to an lvalue.
