Two changes:

  1. Make type parameters move by default, even if they have a Copy bound. After all, they could be bound to ~T or ~[]. Also, this is a necessary step towards removing copy keyword and replacing with clone.
  2. Make it illegal to move from *T. This is dangerous in a "moves-by-default" scenario, because it's very easy to move when working with a *T pointer. Also, it requires zeroing memory, which we hope to do away with someday.

Glad to see this. Moving out of * is scary.

@brson thanks for the quick review. this seems like a patch that has very few "substantive" changes (two lines) but is very prone to bitrot ... :)
