Copy constructor hell

Hi,
Just tried to upgrade mir-algorithm with the copy constructor.
Mir has only a few types that should define copy constructors
explicitly.
However, Slice (main structure ) and more than 30 internal
generic types like Iterators and Fields should be upgraded now as
well. The compiler adds an automatically generated constructor.
So, default structure construction that worked before, would not
work anymore:
struct S(T)
{
T t;
}
T oneT;
S(oneT); // would not work anymore if T has a copy constructor.
So, it is a big breaking change for user code as well.
Can we fix it at least for types that have compiler generated
copy-constructors?
Best,
Ilya
