We might as well do it right. Why promote unnecessary template

I'm fine with it either way, but given all of the template bloat
that auto ref creates and how common templates are in D (and will
only become more so as more stuff is range-based and uses design
by introspection), the cost of auto ref generating extra template
instantiations will only increase. So, I think that we'd be
better off simply adding a new attribute like @anyref or whatever
we want to call it. But I don't know how much it will ultimately
matter.
