I hope you're not suggesting writing ctor/dtor/opAssign for every single
struct that uses arrays as value types.

It's possible to write a reference wrapper around a value type.  It's
also possible to write a value wrapper around a reference type.
However, the former is both easier and more efficient than the latter.
