Actually, no copy is needed. Move takes the argument by ref so it can

without having to update the reference count (since the source's content
has been destroyed). It was effectively be moved, not copied.
T move(ref T a) {
T b;
move(a, b);
return b;
}
T a;
whatever = move(a);
If T is a struct, i don't see how a copy is not needed looking at the
current state of move.
