Ahhh, yeah, something like rvalues don't have qualifiers.  I seem to remember
now.

Maybe the standard should fix this for restrict, because things like clang's
_Nonnull would benefit from being kept in such cases.

Of course, that might complicate the compiler...

> It's standard.

Not really as the warning is correct qualifiers are really ignored on return
types as required by the standard.

The benefits are:

- It's standard.
- It's less bytes to type.
