Thanks very much for explaining.

That was probably due to a copy/move ctor being needed for {my attempts at building a working 
"sort" for the GVs myself}.  None of those attempts worked, in the end, but there was more than 
one failure modality.  Some of the attempts wouldn`t even compile without a copy/move ctor for 
"GlobalVariable", which was understandable considering the code in question.
