Yup - I wish that was not the case, I've learned relatively recently that the state the variable becomes (after moving) is "valid, but unspecified" - e.g. you can still destroy it (I guess how would RAII work otherwise), you can still assign to it, and even check some basic properties (!) - but you can't know anything about the actual value (contents) it carries (weird)

It's like a tombstone for a deleted file, object - something that tells you - "Here lived Obj B Peterson, was nice folk, but moved away to a higher place"
