Intriguing, what would be the purpose of such owning references compared to just passing ownership? Is that to have a way to reliably avoid memcopying large objects when passing them by value?

- codedokode 1y agoI wonder what is the case when you cannot optimize away memcpy, but can work around it with an "owning reference"?
