Comment (by joaquin):
Replying to [comment:4 Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@â¦>]:
> The map variant returns a pointer to second. A variant for containers
that store pointers performs an additional dereference.
Why a pointer to second? This is not consistent with the semantics of
std::map, which returns an iterator to the whole element (the key-value
pair), not the value alone.
> IMO the wrapper is useful every time you use a map like container.
In either case, find_ptr can be provided as an (overloaded) function, no
need to have as a built-in member function. Thus my reluctance to address
your request.
