At this point I gather that no one has an objection to providing a macro
for mandatory copy elision.
I think that's correct.
Should SD-6 contain an example like this one? It seems to me that there
ought to be a different definition of indirectFactory under an #else, but I
don't know what it should look like.
For this example, depending on the intent of the library author it may be
impossible to provide an alternate definition. The feature test macro
allows this portion of the interface to be omitted if it's nonessential.
