Research direction

The issue requests move construction and assignment for multi_array but names no files or tests. First locate the multi_array implementation and its test suite, then define completion as supported move construction and assignment with regression coverage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello!

I think having move construction / assignment would be great
