Unable to return a const reference on the interface

[suy]

I expected to be able to return a const reference to a non-copyable object, like std::type_info:

struct Introspectable : te::poly<Introspectable> {
    const std::type_info& type() const {
        return te::call<const std::type_info&>([](auto const& self) {
            return typeid(self);
        }, *this);
    }
};

But I got this compilation errors:

Compile error (GCC 9.4):

Thank you!
