Suitable enough for simple functions. But beyond that becomes

I agree this workaround has a combinatorial problem.
Yes, Ethan made a good point I hadn't thought of. And any DIP on the
matter should cover this point (else it will come up again). These sorts
of things are why a DIP should be done - to collect all these points in
one place.
The combinatorial explosion was one core motivation for C++ rvalue
references. I think the authors of the would-be DIP would do good to be
conversant with that proposal. -- Andrei
