> In the elision case, sometimes an implementation can prove that a coroutine never suspends, never resumes, or coroutines whose handle never escapes. Hence, the lifetime of the moved parameter won't exceed the original ones as parameters to the ramp function. Such elision should be safe and helps reduce the size of a coroutine frame.

Already allowed; see [class.copy.elision] p1.3
