I believe we should, yes - just that no one's gotten around to
implementing this (it's been somewhere on my mental list).

Aside: It'd be rather nice if these rules actually implemented the
classic "rule of three" (if you implement any of the three you should
implement all three - or 5 in C++11) but I don't think the standard
wording goes quite that far.
