The error message from GCC might be more useful. The fact it fails due
to the use of -Werror is just a side effect of the warning, and that we
aim to be warning free.

Presumably this means it will make a copy of the Span. But that's
incredible cheap so not an issue?

I don't object to it - and with the compiler warning clarified (which is
the underlying justification for the change):
