What I mean is, operator->() does not exist. How can it be a pointer when it is not possible to use pointer notation?

In that case I'd consider this a bug.

It's consistent with the interface of std::unique_ptr. You can use p.get()->x instead of p->x if you really want to use that notation to access the first element only, but how often do you really want to access the first element of an array, and p[0] isn't just as natural?
