+1. The following expressions must always return a Sized type:

+2. The RHS of assignment expressions must always have a Sized type.
     - Assigning an unsized type is impossible because we don't know how much memory is available at the destination. This applies to ExprAssign assignments and not to StmtLet let-statements.
 
 This also allows passing unsized values to functions, with the ABI being as if a `&move` pointer was passed (a `(by-move-data, extra)` pair). This also means that methods taking `self` by value are object-safe, though vtable shims are sometimes needed to translate the ABI (as the callee-side intentionally does not pass `extra` to the fn in the vtable, no vtable shim is needed if the vtable function already takes its argument indirectly).

 In Unsafe code, it is very easy to create unintended temporaries, such as in:
 ```Rust
