Agreed. The thing I like about my current effort is that clients see either lvalue or rvalue unique_ptr's (or whatever class you're trying to move- enable) and nothing else. No moved-from wrappers. Downsides include the fact that move(unique_ptr) is a friend of unique_ptr - a tight coupling that I would rather not have there. In C++0X, move is a completely generic std-function, a characteristic not achieved by this emulation.
Howard, do you have a test suite I can throw at this? I'd like to see if I can decouple that thing for you.
Although I've been running tests, I don't really yet have a neatly packaged test suite. Part of the problem is that many of the tests are "must fail" and I don't know of a portable/automated way to handle that kind of test. Has boost addressed "must fail" tests? -Howard
