Why do we have to document them in the first place? I hate having to write 
documentation for a destructor that simply says "frees resources associated 
with this object". That much is obvious: any self-respecting destructor will 
do that and the same applies to copy and move constructors.

What we really want is to document which objects are copyable and which ones 
aren't. And that is very simple: any object with Q_DISABLE_COPY is not 
copyable, (almost) everything else is.
