Comment (by anonymous):

 Another use case for this that presumably would be portable to windows as
 well is having a tcp::socket object, exchanging some messages over it, and
 then deciding to turn it into an SSL socket (I believe the SMTP protocol
 does things like this).

 In this case, the operator=(basic_socket && s) is ideal, however, it would
 be nice to have this for current generation compilers too. maybe with a
 signature like:

 {{{
 basic_socket& operator=(basic_socket& s);
 }}}
