Do you mean like this?

  window.add(create_button("something"));

That's already possible by just taking a std::unique_ptr<> by value.

However, I wouldn't want to enforce that if it forced people to write
code like this, without being able to break it up into separate lines:

  window.add(
    create_frame_with_children(
      create_label("something"),
      create_button("some button")));
