[ptr_container]copy from one to other with iterator

I'm looking at ptr_vector to replace our wrapper around vector<shared_ptr>. How do I correctly write the following: ptr_vector<T> a; ptr_vector<T> b; ... b.push_back(a.begin()); I've tried plain iterators, dereferencing, *iter.base(), etc. I guess I could reinterpret_cast<T*>(*iter.base()). Is there a better way? Also, theres a typo in the docs. The examples page talks about using allocate_clone, and I'm pretty sure its supposed to be new_clone (If not, theres a typo in the tutorial). Thanks, Tom
