Though, if you use auto ref, and you check if it's mutable and 
not copyable and then move, then that means you could 
potentially be applying move to an object on behalf of the 
clients


auto a = MyUnmovableType()
auto b = LibraryType(a);
writeln(a); // ??

If this is a problem, I guess a __traits(isRef, parameter) 
check along with mutable and copyable could help. Then if 
client want it moved they could call move explicitly.


Yeah, that's why you use core.lifetime.forward instead of 
directly calling move--it checks all of this stuff for you.

So this works - are there any problems with it?

struct W(T) {
T value;
this(T value) {
static if (isMutable!T)
this.value = value.move;
else
this.value = value;
}
}

auto wrap(T)(T value) {
static if (isMutable!T)
return W!T(value.move);
else
return W!T(value);
}

Shouldn't this be happening by default? When would you not 
want that to happen?


The way I handle this is with `auto ref` and 
`core.lifetime.forward`:


import core.lifetime: forward;

struct W(T)
{
T value;
this()(auto ref T value)
{
this.value = forward!value;
}
}

auto wrap(T)(auto ref T value)
{
return W!T(forward!value);
}

@safe unittest
{
static struct NoCopy { @disable this(this); }
assert(__traits(compiles, {
auto test = wrap(NoCopy());
}));
assert(!__traits(compiles, {
auto lval = NoCopy(); auto test = lval;
}));
}

It's not very well documented, but `forward` does essentially 
the same thing as your `static if` + `move` combination.


Note that with both your version and mine, you will run into 
the same problem I did of `move` making it impossible to use 
instances of `W` in static initializers and CTFE. [1] The best 
compromise I was able to come up with was to only call move if 
`isCopyable!T == false`, which doesn't really solve the 
problem, but at least contains it.
