If you are referring to:

template <MoveConstructible T1, MoveConstructible T2>
  pair<V1, V2> make_pair(T1&& x, T2&& y);

I'm not into concepts yet (the reason being obvious :-), but I think
T1,T2 can be lvalue-references. Unfortunately, in this case, under
reference collapsing rules, this _will_ accept lvalues and perfectly forward
them to the pair constructor.

Am I off the track here? As for deducing pair template parameters as described
in WP, I can only see symptoms of "coding under influence" :-D

I say "unfortunately" above, because I don't like the syntax (namely &&)
used to express a function that can take both lvalues and rvalues.
I have objected on comp.std.c++, but got no real support.

Also, about move and forward. IMHO, those presented in the patch
seem fine. Did I understand correctly that the only thing you
are waiting is acceptance into WP? I guess the functionality will
remain the same. It might be they have issues with concepts.
I'm only guessing, so I apologize if you have some _solid_ information.
