/* The ReturnByValue object doesn't even have a coeff() method.
 * So the only way that nesting it in an expression can work, is by evaluating it into a plain matrix.
 * So internal::nested always gives the plain return matrix type.
 *
 * FIXME: I don't understand why we need this specialization: isn't this taken care of by the EvalBeforeNestingBit ??
 * Answer: EvalBeforeNestingBit should be deprecated since we have the evaluators
