[boost] [ptr_container] indirect_fun - do we still need it?

Thorsten,

Now, when we got rid of ptr_iterators, we don't need indirect_fun, do we?
At least as part of ptr_container library?

P.S. About copyability: may be then provide some cloning mechanism like:

ptr_vector<int> a;
ptr_vector<int> b(a.clone());
b = a.clone();

Where ptr_vector<T>::clone doesn't create clone immeadiately, but returns some 
object that refers to this, and ptr_vector<T> has ctor and assignment operator 
taking that object.

Thoughts?
