On multiple occasions, I wanted to write a Tuesday Coding Tip about how to make a forwarding reference for a given type (or types convertible to that).

Turns out to be a template hell you can easily make mistake in!

I am glad there is a proposal for C++26/29 to finally give us something that should've been there since auto&& was added to the standard.
