Comment (by niels_dekker):

 Hoi Olaf,

 Thanks for your feedback. I prefer to have the elements value-initialized
 by such a scoped_array(n) constructor. That's also consistent with the
 interface of std::vector:

 {{{
    // All 'n' elements value-initialized:
    boost::scoped_array<my_type> a(n);
    std::vector<my_type> v(n);
 }}}

 People who really need to have uninitialized elements can still use the
 old (verbose) syntax, of course...
