// Find places where various things are passed by value.
// It's not very efficient, because we generally end up copying it twice - once into the parameter and
// again into the destination.
// They should rather be passed by reference.
//
// Generally recommending lambda capture by-ref rather than by-copy is even more
// problematic than with function parameters, as a lambda instance can easily
// outlive a referrenced variable.  So once lambdas start to get used in more
// sophisticated ways than passing them into standard algorithms, this plugin's
// advice, at least for explicit captures, will need to be revisited.
