I think this is covered by the above points.  But without further 
restriction I don't see how e.g. the above example with ctors and dtors 
would be ruled out (except if you regard a ctor as a sub-object).  For 
that you seem to need trivially-copyable, or that POD-ly thing.  So, 
perhaps simply amend (2) "... is a trivially copyable type where it ...".


Ciao,
