Saying that perfect forwarding doesn't work because the compiler can't
do an optional copy elision anymore when you forward a value seems a bit
far-fatched, especially since the pattern where you can exploit it is
quite specific. (I've never found a reason to pass arguments by value
outside of the assignment operator)

Notice the "officially" in the sentence.
