With move semantics in mind, I'm wondering if there may be a better word.

Currently in D, IIRC, explicit moving can be done through by-value arguments. If you want to move explicitly from an lvalue, you can use D's std.move(lvalue). The downside is an extra blit/init into the rvalue that's returned by std.move. Then, the function that takes the rvalue may blit again in order to store the contents that are being moved in.

As an alternative, non-const '@rvalue ref param' could be used...but would it be clear enough to people(seeing non-const @rvalue) that the contents of the argument could potentially be consumed/moved-from?

Any news on this?

Hmm. Why did I expect this?
