<p>
Rvalue references are a major C++0x feature, enabling move semantics for C++
values. However, we don't need C++0x compilers to take advantage of move semanatics.
<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Move</strong></span> emulates C++0x move semantics in
C++03 compilers and allows writing portable code that works optimally in C++03
and C++0x compilers.
