For advanced uses (only), where you really need to optimize for rvalues passed to "input-only" parameters:
* If the function is going to unconditionally move from the argument, take it by `&&`. See [F.18](#Rf-consume).
* If the function is going to keep a copy of the argument, in addition to passing by `const&` (for lvalues),
* If the function is going to keep a locally modifiable copy of the argument only for its own local use, taking it by value is fine
* If the function is going to keep a copy of the argument to pass to another destination (to another function, or store in a non-local location), in addition to passing by `const&` (for lvalues),
add an overload that passes the parameter by `&&` (for rvalues) and in the body `std::move`s it to its destination. Essentially this overloads a "will-move-from"; see [F.18](#Rf-consume).
* In special cases, such as multiple "input + copy" parameters, consider using perfect forwarding. See [F.19](#Rf-forward).
