Proposing a C++1Y Swap Operator

Excerpt:

This paper proposes a new swap operator for incorporation into C++1Y. It further proposes that this new operator be treated as a special member function, and that, when viable, its presence provide an alternative to traditional memberwise implementation of defaulted assignment semantics.
