Letting x go out of scope is possible only sometimes, if x is by-value
function parameter, you are out of luck.
Anyway I certainly would not want to see such workarounds in real
code, because the intention is not clear without a comment, and it
uglifies the code.
'move x' (or 'relocate x' as in OPs proposal) on the other hand
clearly signals intention, and doesn't uglify the code.
