I'm very dubious about using:
vec.begin()->bar();
instead of:
(*vec.begin())->bar();
It means that ptr_vector<T> is not syntactically a drop-in replacement for
vector<T *> or vector<shared_ptr<T> >. Won't that make it unnecessarily
difficult to "upgrade" existing classes, and harder to switch back again
should the need arise? Doesn't it also obscure what is going on? It seems
a fundamentally wrong notation to me.
