It's always about finding the right balance between idiot safe usage and then allowing the programmer to get the job done. If ptr_iterator is not mutable we get 1. view-clone_manager can sort what-ever it views, but not itself. 2. we cannot provide all foreseeable algorithms as members which suggest that providing member is a bad idea 3. we risk users will just do &*begin(), &*end() to get the pointers anyway br Thorsten
