I'm not going to DConf myself, but I'll make this thread so people can list out a few things worth discussing while various important D contributors are all gathered together at DConf 2014.

During the last conference, people met up to discuss ref const(T) and references to r-values, etc. There was some feeling at the time of having a solution ready for the issue, and a lot of discussion afterwards, but the end result was that we ended up not having a solution in place a year later. Could this be brought up again? Is there a solution to be had at all? I hate to sound like I'm nagging, but I think it's worth talking about.

It would be nice to solve this. There is *a ton* of const reference stuff in a typical C++ library. I always have to convert these into pass-by-value, and my gut feeling is that performance suffers because of this.

I'd really like that too.
I was the main driving force behind that conversation last year, and
I'm not going this year :(
So someone else will have to carry the flag...?
