Milestone:  To Be Determined                     |   Component:  ptr_container
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0                         |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  iterator, type                       |  
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 The void_ptr_iterator, which handles much of the ptr_container iterator
 functionality, oddly supports comparison operations between iterators of
 differing types.

 For example:
 {{{
    ptr_vector<int>     vi;
    ptr_vector<string>  vs;
    bool eq = (vi.begin() == vs.begin());
 }}}

 The affected operators are: == != < <= > >=
