Right, but in my case the return value is a builtin :(

I could change those builtin's to structs, but this would be a MAJOR
change to BGL, causing lots of user and example code to be rewritten.

Also, this isn't really just a BGL issue. The same problem will come up
whenever someone has a custom iterator that returns builtin's by value.

Cheers,
