I admit I've never thought about `std::unique` in this context before; but now that I have spent an hour or so thinking about it, I still don't see how its current behavior can be improved. One might rewrite `std::unique` to use swap instead of move-assignment, but one can't really rewrite it to use relocation because `std::unique` is never responsible for destroying anything. N objects go in, N objects come out (and in the same memory locations, too).

Sorry, I mistyped, I mean type `std::unique_ptr` not algorythm `std::unique`.
