After looking at Daryle's version of auto_ary, I modified auto_array_ptr to
include X &operator[], and X const & operator[] const. Thanks Daryle.
(I added a minor test case to main.cpp as well.)

I also had missed two of the deletes, and added if (sizeof(X)) delete p; to
all of them.

Since auto_ptr does not allocate any memory, I did not include the
constructor. (Trying to follow the "int" rule.)

auto_array_ptr(size_t n) : p (new X[n] ) {}
which does exist in auto_ary.

auto_array_ptr for operator[], has both a const and non const version,
following the lead by std::vector.

Thoughts? Comments? Should this constructor be included?

I don't think the file auto_array.hpp should include other memory stuff.

Anyone else had a chance to compile this code? (Still gcc 2.95 and MSVC 6.5
compatible.)
