add an overload that passes the parameter by `&&` (for rvalues) and in the body `std::move`s it to its destination. Essentially this overloads a "will-move-from"; see [F.18](#Rf-consume). add an overload that passes the parameter by `&&` (for rvalues) and in the body `std::move`s it to its destination.
