I'm sure Daniel didn't mean it that way, but to avoid confusion, I want to
clarify that a function that takes `self` as argument not necessarily results in
`self` being destroyed. It could be moved into some other structure, directly
returned by the same function etc.

It's just that if the functions lets `self` go out of scope, then it's
destroyed.
