It succeeded in the sense that it convinced Walter and Andrei that it was
necessary to have something similar to move constructors in D even though
ideally they wouldn't be necessary, but it did indeed ultimately fail in the
sense that it was trying to introduce the move equivalent of postblit
constructors when we were in the process of figuring out how to replace
postblit constructors given their issues. So, the DIP was an important step
forward, but it's clearly not going to be implemented as-is.
