Ah, I just found out why I didn't do this before - prev_ptr might be a
pointer object (depending on the allocator), so the correct line is:

return (*prev_ptr) != link_ptr();

Which can potentially be inefficient. I think the best thing to do is to
use a pragma to disable the warning, or maybe:

     return static_cast<bool>(*prev_ptr);

or:

     return boost::implicit_cast<bool>(*prev_ptr);

would work.
