  Yes.  That is what I ended up doing, but I just wanted to ask the
question as to whether it was supposed to work, since I had read some
things suggesting that it is supposed to work in C++0x.  But, I think
it's just an issue of the STL containers being enough different in C++0x
than they are now to not work like that.

  Thanks...
