Re: [Bug c++/11157] Annoying warning message

I disagree with that analysis. Check "Inside the C++ Object Modele"
by Lippman for valide case uses. The diagnostic is just plain
annoying in this case.

Yes, but he didn't. Did he? There is no point in boring him.
I would suggest not to close this issue based on the analysis you gave.
