he he :-) yes, I already stated that the example could be better. Reuse of
functors might be there, but it depends a bit on your needs.
What the example do show is the differnce in declaration and how you would
use push_back. If you have an iterator, you would
see the difference as

vector<Foo*>::iterator i = ..;
ptr_vector<Foo>::iterator ii = ..;

(*i)->foo();
ii->foo();
**i = Foo();
*ii  = Foo();
