The name keeps confusing me.  I understand "move" to be "rename" or
possibly "move it elsewhere", but not "move around in".  I understand
that there is an analogy with FETCH/MOVE in cursors, but it's still
confusing.

I would also like to see some documentation for a use case of this.

Anyway, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, this patch needs several
changes.
