An important smoking gun is C++'s min(), which is allows writing unsafe

But what does that have to do with const& for function parameters?
It relates directly as one may then pass the result of min to fun(const

I can agree
that it's bad for local variables like that, but such references aren't legal
in D anyway - const or not. const& on function paramters merely avoids a copy,
and as long as you don't take the reference of that parameter (which you can't
do in D) and then assign it to something or return it, it can't survive past
the point that it leaves scope.
I get the impression that your complaints about rvalue references stem from
issues with them that have nothing to do with function parameters, and it's
the function parameters that everyone cares about.
That being said, I don't think that having const ref take rvalues is a good
solution for D given how strict its const is - rather I think that we should
figure out how to make auto ref work for non-templated functions - but I fail
to see how making const ref accept rvalues would really cause any problems.
