I was hoping someone could tell me why more standard "smart pointers" weren't
defined. Why not a reference-counting ptr (perhaps ref_ptr) and an auto_ptr
with operator== and operator<, for STL usage (perhaps oper_ptr)? These are the
kinds of pointers that would be fairly common, so why not standardize them and
cut down on confusion?
