Thanks for the link.

I read through his implementation and it uses simulated move for
C++03, but doesn't use C++0x rvalue references when they're available.
I'm guess it shouldn't take too much to use some compiler macro magic
to choose between an implementation that uses rvalue references (like
the one I posted) and a simulated rvalue reference / move / forward.

I really hope Howard's implementation gets reviewed and packaged into
Boost sooner than later. ;)
