I think the implementation of auto-ref you want is one where the argument is always passed by ref but it the function would also accept lvalues. I think "auto ref" is a misnomer for that. Actually, I think the true problem you are trying to solve using auto-ref is one of efficiency: you don't want all structs to be passed by copy because often that'd be inefficient. Disregarding efficiency, all cases where you want to use auto-ref you could pass the struct by copy instead.
