New description:

 The doc says:

 > [Note: On compilers that support rvalue references, boost::thread
 provides a proper move constructor and move-assignment operator, and
 therefore meets the C++0x !MoveConstructible and !MoveAssignable concepts.
 With such compilers, boost::thread can therefore be used with containers
 that support those concepts.

 layer, so containers must explicitly detect that move emulation layer. See
 <boost/thread/detail/move.hpp> for details.]

 But seriously, folks, there's no comment in that header.  This needs
 fixed.
