Description
Although the standard doesn't require this, it would be nice if this implementation would make them nothrow movable anyways. This would allow vector<Associative Container>::push_back() to move on resize instead of copy.

Research direction
Start by locating the associative-container move operations and the vector push_back resize path relevant to the requested behavior. Determine the scope needed for containers to be nothrow movable, then verify that resizing a vector of an associative container selects moving rather than copying. Done means the behavior is covered and remains compatible with the standard.
