Could you elaborate on why "callee-cleanup was a mistake"? In case of
`std::unique_ptr` it could allow more optimal code.
Because both `sd::move` and destructor would happen in the same
function and allow the optimizer to remove it using the as-if rule.
What is missing there? Only thing I see that could be changed is the
lifetime of `const T&` and `T` will be different.
Where are more problems with this?
