Comment (by marshall):
My opinion on this is "close as not a bug".
We don't prevent people from acting maliciously.
`noncopyable` makes the copy constructor and assignment operators private
(and doesn't implement them), so if you call them you get a compile (or
link) error. If you go and implement your own copy constructor in a class
that is derived from `noncopyable`, then my belief is that you wanted to
be able to copy those objects.
