yeah, I defiintely will do so at some point. I'm thinking
ptr_unordered_set sounds worse than unordered_ptr_set, but the former
would be more of what we expect.

Anyway, ptr_XX generally forwards to the underlying object and not the 
pointers, but
when it comes to hash-functions I can see no good reason for this not to be 
based on
the pointer itself.
