Well, fixing the rvalue ref problem is still on the front
burner.
Wait, so are you saying that the above code which stopped
working in

No, I think he meant that breaking that code was actually fixing
the language because it shouldn't have worked in a first place
(thing I disagree with but I understand the reasoning).
