Hi Ion,

The following code is making the compiler (vc9) choke:

    template<class D, class S>
    static D force_copy(S s)
    {
       value_type *vp = reinterpret_cast<value_type *>(&*s);
       return D(vp);
    }

I don't get the code either? What is it good for, and why is a 
static_cast not good enough?

If it helps, I'm using flat_multimap<BitSet,BitSet>,  and not a build-in 
type.
