This is a possibility, but I'm not sure the C++11 users would add to 
their movable classes the Boost.Move needed stuff.

Note that this is not a regression, but a feature that was delivered 
with bugged behavior since the beginning. I will try to fix it as soon 
as possible. I can not ensure this will however be done for 1.54.

Release managers could you give your advice?
