Are there arguments for not adding release()?

Check the FAQ on the scoped_ptr documentation.

Policing arguments ("you shouldn't to this") are OK only if there is an alternative. As I wrote before, there is no auto_array, therefore the FAQ is just frustrating.

I'm willing to add scoped_array::release if nobody objects and if you contribute a test. But keep in mind that 1.34 is closed for new features.
