All that said, operator-> might be a useful convenience for the case where you are making only a single call, or you don't care about exceptions or efficiency, but the problem is that people may start to use it in all cases.

This proposal seems to come up about once a month or so. Seems to me that we need to beef up the smart_ptr rationale section to explain better why it isn't a good idea. -- Jon Biggar Levanta jon@levanta.com 650-403-7252
