In a tutorial a student asked a very good question i think:
How can auto_ptr imagine which delete to use.
Consider:
 int* p = new int;
and
 int* p = new int[10];
should result in different delete operations.
But if I let auto_ptr do the job, how does it know
which one to use?

Isn't it a BIG design problem ?
Reading the DWP it calls delete (without [])
what would be wrong in many cases since
using new for arrays is probaly made very often.

I fear we need two kind of auto_ptr, don't we?
