Re: [boost] std::map::find() wrapper

I'm not sure what your code looks like, but IMO bare pointers are perfectly fine in certain situations. Like this one, where no ownership issues are present. IMHO, if program *REQUIRES* bare pointers - this program, probably, should be refactored.

For example, I don't use bare pointers in my code. Never (except operator new() result). I write system-oriented programs and libraries (network, protocols, database, etc.), but I never need bare pointers. - Denis
