rvalue references

I couldn't remember what the big problem was with rvalue references, and so I 
spent some time on the phone talking with Andrei about what exactly the problem 
is. They are:

1.
C++:
   int i;
   double& d = i;
   ++d;

The problem is that i is implicitly converted to a double, and then the address 
is taken and assigned to d. When what d refers to is incremented, it increments 
the temporary, and i is inexplicably left untouched. I say inexplicably because 
when an implicit conversion happens isn't always obvious to the user. C++ is 
full of implicit conversions, so these types of silent bugs crop up.

This one isn't too bad, you could say "just make it a const&", but consider the 
related:

2.
   double& d;
   int i;
   void foo() {
     d = i;
   }

Now d is referring to a temporary that has gone out of scope. This is, of 
course, a memory corrupting disaster, const ref or no const.

3. This one is a more general problem with references, that of escaping

Fighting with 2.059 and not quite winning

Sorry for creating a new thread, I unsubscribed from this list but  
subscribed back just so I could post about this.

I'm having a hard time getting my open-source ActionScript 3 disassembler  
project to compile with the latest DMD git. I've taken three tries at this  
during the development cycle (3rd being tonight), but every time I've  
given up in frustration.

The first problem was due to std.conv not being pure-friendly. I don't  
know why text(1) or to!string(1) aren't pure. (I've left this alone for  
now to figure out later.)

Now, I'm facing this:

asprogram.d(94): Error: pure function 'processData' cannot call impure  
function 'opEquals'
asprogram.d(114): Error: pure function 'processData' cannot call impure  
function 'opEquals'

The only two places that declare opEquals in my program include the "pure"  
attribute.

I'm a bit tied up lately, so does anyone have any advice before I attempt  
to minimize it, or try to unwind the layers of metaprogramming to figure  
out the problem?

The project in question is here (GPL):
https://github.com/CyberShadow/RABCDAsm

My incomplete attempts are on the dmd-2059 branch:
