Synopsis: copy constructor vs non-default constructor

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why:
    not a bug.
    	Thing2 b = a;
    is formally
    	Thing2 b(Thing2 (a));
    i.e. convert a to Thing2 then copy construct b with
    that. [8.5]/14 class copy initialization case.
    But we are allowed to elide that temporary Thing2.
    See [12.8]/15 of the std. The copy ctor must
    exist and be accessible though.
