Subject: [boost] [move] boost::move incorrect documentation?

Here
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/doc/html/boost/move_idp159681920.html
it states:

"This function provides a way to convert a reference into a rvalue
reference in compilers with rvalue references. For other compilers
converts T & into ::boost::rv<T> & so that move emulation is activated."

But in <boost/move/utility.hpp> I see:

    template <class T>
    inline typename ::boost::move_detail::enable_if_c
       < enable_move_utility_emulation<T>::value &&
!has_move_emulation_enabled<T>::value, T&>::type
          move(T& x)
    {
       return x;
    }

Therefore shouldn't the above be:

"This function provides a way to convert a reference into a rvalue
reference in compilers with rvalue references. For other compilers if T
is Boost.Move enabled type then it converts T & into ::boost::rv<T> & so
that move emulation is activated, else it returns T &."
