There are no plans, but as you say, it might make a useful difference
for some applications. I don't think it would help omniORB itself much,
because it generally avoids situations that copy data in a way the move
semantics save you from. The C++ mapping tends to pass sequence
parameters by reference, and returns sequence types by pointer, which
means it avoids assignment from one to another most of the time.

If you come up with a minimal patch that adds this, it could be
included in the code base.
