Not much AFAIK. Wait a few weeks 'till we've had a chance to meet ;-)

The document at
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1377.htm does a fine
job of describing a well thought-out proposal for adding move semantics to
C++.  In fact, after reading this document, I'm quite upset that we don't
already have this support in the language!

I'm curious what sort of discussion has gone on in the committee about this
proposal.  Are members generally in favor of it?  Have any implementors
other than Metrowerks implemented all or part of this proposal?
