All that said, I agree with you that the implicit copying
isn't really all that desirable. Perhaps there is a better
way. What if instead of value semantics we had unique
containers (akin to std.typecons.Unique or unique_ptr in C++)
and required people to always state whether it was a copy or
move? That takes care of the error prone implicit copying
while retaining the performance characteristics.
Well, we could always have a wrapper for reference type
containers that turns them into a value type,
ugh...that sounds horrible.
