Comment:

 This function is similar to the scoped_ptr::reset. It might be just a bit
 safer to pass auto_ptr. But I don't believe it warrants interface change.
 Also I am a bit unsure I want to mix different memory management tools. I
 also prefer to stay away from auto_ptr as a general rule. Maybe we can
 pass scoped_ptr and move it into data member once this functionality
 available.
   All in all this is advanced API. One should assume person using it will
 have a reason to understand what to pass.
