    I had a look to the code of several move assignment operators. If
the plan is that it should be a no-op then they are not supporting
operation with self. Do you mean that those operators should be made
compatible so that debug check can be removed ?

    If so the simplest evolution would be to add:

if (this == &__x)
    return *this;

    Is it how the Standard is going to be adapted ?
