Actually, wouldn't it be much more simple to just copy the struct
instance directly, without a save() method:

S s1;
S s2 = s1;

And you could add a postblit to control the copy behavior concerning
_val.

Or if save() is supposed to behave different than normal copying maybe
something like this could be the solution:

S save() const {
  return S(_val.dup);
}
