Already done. The standard requires that all allocators to be used with
std::containers (both user supplied and vendor supplied) have the
interface described in 20.1.5.
So if a client ignorant of the "auto_ptr" in vector writes:
template <class T>
class MyAllocator {...}
vector<MyClass, MyAllocator<MyClass> > v(...);
Then his MyAllocator will get installed into the vector's "auto_ptr" and
be guaranteed to work because we are all following the standard specified
interface for allocators. (assuming we can actually pull all this off!)
