Here I see serious question to what extent smart_ptr should support arrays:

1. Should smart_ptr support operator[]
It would not be difficult to present such operator in array-storage-policy,
but how do we deal with ambiguity with operator tester*?

2. Is there anything else we need to "support" arrays?
