Quotes because IIRC(?) it used to be part of the spec and it
isn't anymore, I don't think Walter or Andrei have addressed
this yet so I'm not sure if it's intended.
By NRVO I assume you mean:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_value_optimization
All the common C++ compilers do RVO, but you don't need that to
implement move semantic-like behaviour in C++03.
I wouldn't call RVO move semantics at all...
