I don't see any, either, as CW seems not being able to handle function 
types at all here.

I'm also far from being an expert :-) : the auto_ptr test works well 
with the original implementation if you remove const.
I'm just wondering: could someone give me an example where 
is_convertible returns different results if a type is/is not const?
