I've been toying with a smart pointer adaptor for this one. I really haven't fully fleshed out the thinking on it though...
template <class SP> class deep_const
Yes, conversion and checking can be implemented as adaptors, too.
But a really smart pointer would have the right default for const propagation depending on the ownership policy. :-)
could you explain what that default would be? (I think I know the answer; I definitely know what I think the answer should be, but I would like Howard hear you say it)
You have quoted it:
ConstPropagation policy (with the default being No for shallow >>>> copy and Yes for deep copy).
