Agreed on all points.  And glad to have your continued support for a 
better tomorrow (which you have expressed repeatedly, not just now).  I 
like to think of auto_ptr as a bright headlight into the future.  I 
have learned so much from it.

Imho, standardized move syntax/semantics is very close to the top of 
important issues for C++.  I guess that's why I'm pushing for current 
smart pointers to get "the right syntax" for move semantics.

Thanks,
