Obviously needing to fix old code, that uses the former syntax ;-)
And by the way, the use case I'll miss the most is:
bool f()
{
shared_ptr<T> p = something();
some_other_things();
return p;
}
The last line will need to be changed somethink like:
return !!p;
It's no big deal, but I'll personally miss the old syntax ;-)
