Assuming this RFC is accepted: How would I have to implement Add for a

immutable references to bind the operands?

You don't implement Add for those types.

As far as I'm concerned that's anything but a satisfactory answer. I
really don't see the point of your RFC. If anything, it seems to make
things worse from my perspective. That's why I asked you for some
clarifications. Of course, you don't owe me anything. And I hope you
don't take this personally.

I don't see much of a use case for `Add` without move semantics. Does anyone have any?

Strings and vectors, perhaps, but I would argue that having to call `.clone()` on the LHS or RHS (as appropriate) is an improvement, because cloning strings and vectors can be very expensive.
