Is there anything that can be done to allow auto_ptr covariant return
types, that is:

class foo {
 class bar {};
 auto_ptr<bar> getbar() { return new bar(); }
};

class food /* :-) */ : public foo {
 class bard : public foo::bar {};
 auto_ptr<bard> getbar() { return new bard(); }
};

Thanks in advance
