Re: [boost] move semantics

While I thought auto_vector might be a good place to explore move 
semantics, I see no reason that auto_vector should come to a standstill 
while move semantics are worked out.  But that appears to have 
happened.  Thus the new thread dedicated to move...

I'm a little concerned that this might require T to be default 
constructible.  I don't think we want to have move_construct require 
that.  But maybe I'm just misreading pseudo code.

Also I'm not clear how a given class would plug into move_construct 
(provide its move semantics).  Could you expound on that?

Thanks,
