Re: [boost] scoped_ptr deleter

Noncopyable nature doesn't mean its type is insignificant. This change would break the interface as the following code won't work anymore:

template< template< typename > class Ptr > void make_a(Ptr< A >& p);

scoped_ptr< A > p; make_a(p);

This may not be the most frequent use pattern but nonetheless it's valid.

I'd opt for this change if it wouldn't affect the interface in the breaking way. Otherwise, I like the way it is.

The difficulty that your example demonstrates is caused by the nature of template template parameters. scoped_ptr should not be blamed for that. BR, Dmitry
