In C++ there's no problem with const&, so why they will be

Because const is transitive in D and therefore more
restrictive.
That's not a reason.
Yes it is.
It's just an additional restriction imposed by D and only
prevents
you from using the proposed `in ref T`/`const auto ref T`
*shudder*
equivalents if const-transitiveness would be violated. In my
day-to-day C++ work, I almost never have to do that.
Note "almost".
Ah, I remember you from another rvalue discussion some years ago.
;)
Care to share an example where transitive const is a problem
apart from obvious lazily caching stuff? I don't think I've
encountered any lately.
