Is the idea here that nsRefPtr/nsCOMPtr/etc. would have move

plus return value optimizations would take care of avoiding excess

That, plus forget() returns a nsRefPtr.
You mean that if we changed things, forget would return a nsRefPtr? It
currently returns an already_AddRefed.
Historically people used refptr.forget().get(); to get a raw addrefed
pointer.
This is the way I prefer to return an already addrefed pointer through
an outparam. I feel that it is more explicit and easier to read than
comptr.forget(outparam);
