In modern generics-oriented C++ I would say:
void foo(T); // by value - and probably not what you want
void foo(const T&) // copy semantics overload
void foo(T&&) // move semantics overload
Please keep in mind that C++ do perfect forwarding of those
rvalue references when you pass it down a call chain.
