What is this supposed to do? Usually you get an index view using get(), which you're not using here. 

I thought I am getting an index view here. Isn't it done implicitly... Why am I suppose to use it than? The upper statement can be seen as:

my_index_container_type::index<named_tag>::type& entries = indexed;

If I am not suppose to do that this way, why does this code compile? I know the docs state I should use the

my_index_container_type::get<...> member, by how is this construct should be different?

In this particular case you're being lucky because the index you're getting is the first one and the whole multi_index_container publicly derives from it. If you tried a different index it wouldn't have worked. In general you shouldn't rely on this trick not even for index #0.  

Ok thanks for your help and a great lib!
