Are you referring to UniqueArray? It will only work with primitive types
because it has no control over member functions of structs and classes
that escape addresses. Maybe we could make it to work with Tuple too
because Tuple is under the control of the stdlib.

It's pretty easy with primitive types, but when it comes to structs and classes, is there a way to enforce that they won't take take their own address (or the address of a member) and leak it elsewhere, in the constructor, in another member function, or even from an external function?
