Nasos,
The example showed in that link does not entirely eliminate
temporaries. Consider the expression
x = (a+b)+(c+d);
here we construct two temporaries and one is wasted.

However, I don't think we should re-implement the operators, since
those are already handled by expression template. I think only move
constructor and move assignment operator should be added for
container of uBlas.

Best,
Mo
