Umm, "member access operator"?!?

You know, we don't have operator.() in C++.

I think you should clarify (and I predict it will not be easy to do so!)

Also, I would particularly like to hear from Howard and Greg on this, since
they have both had experience with proxied containers. Does this reflect the
intended concept, or would it be acceptable for member access to fail for
references?
