Obviously needing to fix old code, that uses the former syntax ;-)

And by the way, the use case I'll miss the most is:

bool f()
{
  shared_ptr<T> p = something();
  some_other_things();
  return p;
}

The last line  will need to be changed somethink like:
  return !!p;

It's no big deal, but I'll personally miss the old syntax ;-)
