--- Comment #6 from Alex Christensen <achristensen at apple.com> ---
We are moving from this model:
1. Instantiating a default-constructed value
2. Decode members into the value
3. Return the value by reference

To this model:
1. Decode all members
2. Construct an object with all members

This avoids partially initialized objects and it allows non-default-constructible objects, so we can use UniqueRef and Ref in serialized types.  It's a slow move, but we'll get there any year now.
