@disable this() disables default initialization and @disable this(this)
disables copying. Neither of them has anything to do with moving. If you
stick a struct in another struct, and the outer struct is moved, then the
inner struct is moved, because it's part of the outer struct. A static
variable shouldn't ever be moved by the compiler, though anyone could choose
to use std.algorithm's move on it. Similarly, if you put an object on the
heap, the compiler isn't going to move it. If it were inside a dynamic
array, then the runtime might copy it (though if you've disabled default
initialization or copying, I don't think that the type can be put in a
dynamic array), but aside from std.algorithm's move (or another function
that does something similar), it shouldn't ever end up being moved.
