/* # move constructor

*

* ## move semantics

*

* Useful in situations where a class heap allocated data.

*

* Made possible by C++11 rvalue references.

*

* Basic idea: when copying from an rvalue, it is not necessary to make an expensive copy of it:

* it suffices to acquire its data via swap, and leave it on a valid state (via a default constructor for example).

*

* This is true because the rvalue passed to a copy constructor cannot be seen.

*

* Value reference allows to overload the copy constructor based not on type,

* but on the fact that a value is an rvalue or an lvalue!

*

* No change must be done to the copy and swap idiom for move semantics to work for the assignment operator,

* since in C++11 `int i = rvale` calls a move consttuctor on `i` while `int i = lvalue` calls a copy constructor.
