Hmm. I'm following the rule quite a lot ‒ if there's something that can be
passed as const reference instead of value and it is not primitive small object
(bare pointer, integer), I use const reference (not omitting the shared
pointers).

With creating, I believe these were the constructors (including
copy-constructors) and destructors of the shared pointer itself, not the
destructors called from them. I guess the difference between calling and not
calling the destructor is small (if the destructor itself is not included in the
cost of the function).

I agree we should prefer a bare (const) reference if possible.

My apologies to you, Paul, if I persuaded you to follow a rule only I believed
existed.

With regards
