I hate this 'idiom' too (just a clumsy workaround for something that should work out of the box), but the non-bindability of rvalues to ref params and the associated dispute is veeery old, nothing new, so I don't agree that the language gets worse every day. ;)
d-idioms doesn't always paint a rosy picture of D, that's true. It's about "what can we do now with D, whatever it takes". It turns out almost everything can be done, but some things are worse than in other languages of course.
