Yeah, I did.  And then Paul Mensonides optimized it for me, although I'm
not sure I know how to find that version.  Maybe this is that version
and I forgot to credit him (if so, sorry, Paul!)

That's not exactly perfect forwarding, though: it erases rvalue-ness.
That means you lose the ability to move from the argument inside the
forwarding function.
