+----
+
+Description
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+Like 'ptr_move_t' but for viewtypes (linear types). Unlike 'ptr_move_t' this
+is an actual move rather than a copy. Because the type is linear, the original
+value at the pointer address is no longer accessible after the move operation
+(it becomes a pointer to an uninitialized type).
