That's interesting, but it doesn't help me form my own opinion.  Maybe
if you told us on what basis you came to that conclusion, it would be
more helpful.  Have you done any tests to see how easily/quickly a
type implemented with move emulation works as compared to one
implemented with COW?  Have you got concrete examples?
