Discussion:
Paragraph 1 in "Effects", says "Calls p->release()" where it clearly must be "Calls p.release()". (As it is, it seems to require using auto_ptr<>::operator-> to refer to X::release, assuming that exists.)
Proposed resolution:
Change 21.3.5.4 [meta.unary.prop] paragraph 1 Effects from "Calls p->release()" to "Calls p.release()".
Rationale:
Not a defect: the proposed change is already found in the standard. [Originally classified as a defect, later reclassified.]
