Oh yikes, I figured it would still be copied onto the local stack 
even though it is an rvalue.

But you know, the fact that so many of us are still surprised by 
just what is going on here tells me it is iffy anyway. 
Complicated rules can be fine when they bring compelling 
benefits, but this has a lot of cost and no serious benefit - 
just slice explicitly when you want to!

yea perhaps there is a bug there too.
