Very nice, thank you.

I would accept either one.  Abstractly, I suppose a new type code would
be more in keeping with the current design.  But I think the other
choice would be ok, too, if it is a reasonably accurate model of C++.  I
don't know enough about rvalue references to say whether this is the
case.
