I've seen that thread.  I came up with my idea a day before I read Bill's
and Howard's first message.  I decided to give my idea a shot on this board
anyway.  The main difference is that I provide a totally separate class; the
recent posts on the other thread describe problems coming from forcing the
array idea within the "std::auto_ptr" framework.  The semantics are
different.  (An array should not have "->" or "*" or conversions; a single
object should not have "[]" or pointer decay.)
