#4637: An extra scoped_array(n) constructor, please!
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  niels_dekker      |       Owner:  pdimov   
     Type:  Feature Requests  |      Status:  new      
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  smart_ptr
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0      |    Severity:  Problem  
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 When I construct a non-empty ''scoped_array<my_type>'', I currently need
 to specify the type ''my_type'' twice:
 {{{
   boost::scoped_array<my_type> a( new my_type[n]() );
 }}}

 Please consider supporting the following as an equivalent:
 {{{
   boost::scoped_array<my_type> a(n);
 }}}

 A patch to the trunk (scoped_array.hpp + smart_ptr_test.cpp) is hereby
 attached.
