Short answer: no matter what, we have to find a way to be able
to write one function that takes by ref, and accepts both
rvalues and lvalues. If ref const is that way, so be it. If
auto ref is that way, so be it. If it's plain-old ref, I'm
fine with that too.
Allowing plain-old ref to bind to rvalues would be a massive
mistake in my opinion. See case (2) in the original post.
It seems that 'auto ref' would be suitable, provided we can find
a way for it to work with normal functions (in a sensible way,
not like templates).
