Except `Ref()`, these matchers make a *copy* of `value` in case it's modified or
destructed later. If the compiler complains that `value` doesn't have a public
copy constructor, try wrap it in `ByRef()`, e.g.
`Eq(ByRef(non_copyable_value))`. If you do that, make sure `non_copyable_value`
is not changed afterwards, or the meaning of your matcher will be changed.

The reason is that `Return(*value*)` converts `value` to the actual return type
of the mock function at the time when the action is *created*, not when it is
*executed*. (This behavior was chosen for the action to be safe when `value` is
a proxy object that references some temporary objects.) As a result, `ByRef(x)`
is converted to an `int` value (instead of a `const int&`) when the expectation
is set, and `Return(ByRef(x))` will always return 0.

What if the callable takes an argument by reference and we do **not** wrap the
argument in `ByRef()`? Then `InvokeArgument()` will *make a copy* of the
argument in `std::ref()`? Then `InvokeArgument()` will *make a copy* of the
argument, and pass a *reference to the copy*, instead of a reference to the
original value, to the callable. This is especially handy when the argument is a
temporary value:
