Agreed about the hassle part.  It would be neat if there were either a 
generalized language or library solution so that one could easily add 
move semantics to vector, string, bob and alice.  I imagine you would be 
one of the first to agree that giving auto_ptr move semantics was not 
easy, or at least not straight forward! :-)
