Because you have a copy constructor, you do not get an implicitly-declared move constructor (so that's correct), but that doesn't mean the type cannot be used in a context where the user expects a move (i.e., calling `std::move()` on it) -- the operation just falls back on the copy constructor.

In the former, fallback to copy happens and in the latter you get a diagnostic. So when I hear "non-moveable type", my brain assumes you mean "get a diagnostic when you try to move."
Ah, now I see what you mean.

I've renamed "NonMoveable" to "NoMoveSemantics" (and "Moveable" to "MoveSemantics" for consistency). What do you think?

(I don't like NonMoveConstructible because it's prone to the same ambiguity -- or even more so, because std::is_move_constructible<> uses exactly the same term and the type is move constructible in the sense of that trait.)
