The problem with code that has pre- and post-addition setup is that now you 
have two objects in the stack, which complicates your stack frame. The 
compilers aren't currently smart enough to deduce std::unique_ptr whose 
payload is completely null and can be early-destroyed.

I'm wary of making user code less readable, but it's something we should do if 
it's for a good reason.
