<p><b>Q</b>. Why doesn't <b>scoped_ptr</b> have a release() member?<br>
<b>A</b>. When reading source code, it is valuable to be able to draw
conclusions about program behavior based on the types being used. If <STRONG>scoped_ptr</STRONG>
had a release() member, it would become possible to transfer ownership out of
its scope, weakening its role as a way of limiting resource lifetime to a given
