the \tcode{return} statement initializes the
glvalue result or prvalue result object of the (explicit or implicit) function call
by copy-initialization\iref{dcl.init} from the operand.
The sequence of conversions applied to the operand of the \tcode{return} statement
is the same sequence which would be applied to the parenthesized operand,
if the parenthesized operand was used to copy-initialize\iref{dcl.init}
a hypothetical variable having the same type as the return type of the function
containing the \tcode{return} statement.
\begin{note}
A \tcode{return} statement can involve
an invocation of a constructor to perform a copy or move of the operand
