I discussed that in that document. I'm happy to remove const,

favour. Can you give me some ideas where it would be useful?
doesn't make sense because the output would be immediately
discarded; such a function call given an rvalue as argument
likely represents an accidental mistake on the users part, and
we can catch that invalid code.
Most obvious:
void Close(ref HANDLE h)
{
CloseHandle(h);
h=INVALID_HANDLE;
}
If you want to take input argument, then of course mark it as
input, but if not then not. Why the callee would need to care if
the argument is rvalue or not? The only criticism against rvalue
references I saw was when the reference outlives the temporary.
