No offense, but I don't find this helpful. The main question for me
*is* whether the copy is the same person or not. You are skipping
past the question and saying to ignore it. I have no idea whether
moving blocks of memory around is acceptable to me. I know that this
is how software works, but until I define my own requirements for my
operations, I can't look at a specific case to see if it is good
enough for me.
