Right, they are unrelated.

FWIW, -preview=rvaluerefparam is just kinda... sitting there. And probably because I stopped aggressively pushing for progress. I used it plenty and it's fine, but I can't release libs or whatever that uses it while it's just a preview.

The question about 1040 though, isn't that DIP already like 3-4 years old? It had community reviews, why is it stalled too? It's something D really needs to not continue to die a slow death... which I fear has become inevitable on the basis of progress failure.

What about it? Its status is *Community Review Round 1,* it has
no implementation, and it does not propose a preview switch. It’s
completely unrelated as far as I can tell.
