I haven't spent time trying to support ptr_container<const T>, so I 
don't know if the fix will be easy. I'll put it on my todo list though.

Note that

void foo( const ptr_vector<int>& vec )
{
   vec[1] = 7;
}

fails.

I'm not	sure I completely understand your analogy though: shared_ptr<T> 
and a ptr_vector<T> are not similar types; the former is a smart 
pointer, the latter a container.
