 (Not enforceable) While not enforceable, a good static analyzer can detect patterns that indicate a possible improvement to meet this rule.
 For example, a class with a (pointer, size) pair of member and a destructor that `delete`s the pointer could probably be converted to a `vector`.

-copy assignment operator, move constructor, move assignment operator, and
-destructor.
+The semantics of copy, move, and destruction are closely related, so if one needs to be declared, the odds are that others need consideration too.
