As I said before, you need to add -Wno-return-type or the old memory
explosion bug resurfaces.  This is a known bug.  The problem is that
save_for_inline_copying wastes a ridiculous amount of memory in the
presence of recursive function definitions, which you get with templates.
With -Wno-return-type, we don't need to use save_for_inline_copying.

Jeff, want to add something to the release notes to the effect that
-Wreturn-type and -pedantic cause template-heavy code to suffer from
compiler explosion?
