I don't see the point of the "last element" flag for the _with function
argument. It is used to change what was in the old code a copy-assign into a
copy-construct, but so what? A class should be either non-copyable (neither by
constructor nor by assignment), or it should be copyable (both by constructor
and by assignment). Anything else is weird and probably broken. So avoiding
copy-assignment isn't really buying anything except API complexity.
