Can't see a way around your problem. Seem to remember the HP STL doing 
similar things. Why worry, anyway? An optimising compiler will reduce the 
cost of the bogus parameter to near zero.


>>  to = from;

What happens to the original T objects that 'to' was tracking?


>>  void deep_copy( Iter fromB, Iter fromE, Iter toB, Iter toE, 
>>    ContainedType* )

The fourth parameter is redundant; the size of the range to be copied is 
already specified by the first 2 parameters.



>> while( (fromB != fromE) && (toB != toE) && *fromB )

Not sure about this. It assumes that 'from' can contain some NULL 
pointers, but that they are guaranteed to be together in a block at the 
upper end of it.
