No, I think there is a problem with using opAssign here, because 
"this" will refers to something that is possibly uninitialized, 
and the old value may not be consumed fully.

Due to problem #1, this kinda need to be a constructor rather 
than an opAssign.
Due to problem #2, this kinda need not to take another struct as 
argument.

Which leave me with the one conclusion: the postblit needs to be 
recycled into a move constructor.
