Am I missing something? I use scoped_ptrs (something very much like 
them, really) in non-copyable objects all the time. They 
automatically go away when the object does, which is quite handy, as 
well as the most useful case  for adding the "qualified" option. Am I 
missing something about scoped_ptr that makes it unsuitqable for 
non-copyable objects?
