Hi all !
It's too ugly that we cannot write simply « ref in » on functions
argument.
Many of functions expects a const argument and don't want to know
is it a temp object or not.
In C++ we can write
struct Number {
Number operator+(const Number &num);
...
};
And then use it as « auto c = a + Number(123);
But in D we cannot. Why ? Because ref doesn't accept temp objects.
We need to use auto ref. OK, but auto ref cannot be used on
non-templated function.
We need even more make that function templated. It leads to a
code bloat.
I don't see a reason why « auto ref » even exists.
I think we need to accept temp objects on functions arguments
marked « const ref » : no auto required and functions is not a
template.
That change will not break any exiting code : it only allows a
const ref to accept a temporal object.
In future we can simple deprecate « auto ref » so users will
adjust their code.
