It is my wish that ultimately such a design could be merged into the 
existing std::containers (and other containers as well for that 
matter).  In order for that to happen, the containers must be able to 
detect at compile time if a class supports move semantics, then the 
container could choose to use either move or copy semantics for things 
such as insert.
