-   * @brief @c Value_Ptr traits template structure.

-   * The @c Value_Ptr template class delegates some operations to this
-   * template traits structure.
-   *
-   * Specialize this trait template if cloning through copy
-   * construction is not sufficient.  For example, to avoid slicing
-   * when copying an object through a base class pointer, one can
-   * implement a virtual "clone" method that can be used to
-   * polymorphically invoke the appropriate cloning operation(s).
-   * That virtual method would then be invoked by the @c VP_traits\<\>
-   * specialization.

-   *
-   * Using a @c std::auto_ptr\<\> as a class member is sometimes
-   * problematic since ownership of memory is transferred when copying
-   * such members.  This @c Value_Ptr class is explicitly designed to
-   * avoid such problems by performing copies of the underlying object
-   * rather than transfer ownership.  This, for example, allows it to
-   * be readily used as a member in classes placed inside STL
-   * containers.
