OTOH do note that in the header we may leave shared_ptr incomplete and still declare a shared_ptr factory function. This leads to extremely lean header files:
namespace boost { template <class> class shared_ptr; } struct foo; boost::shared_ptr<foo> create_foo(); void use_foo( foo * );
You're making a very compelling argument. Actually strong enough that it makes me want the uniform call syntax when I was previously on the fence about that feature.
I'm generally not in favor of adding stuff to C++. What's the upside in this case? To be able to say p.do_something() instead of do_something(p), because the latter offends Java programmers? :) Emil
