[omniORB] operator * for _var types?

Perhaps tell us the context in which it is mentioned and which book. I
see no sign of the operator in the copy of the C++ Language Mapping for
CORBA which I'm looking at.

>I know I could write X::Y y = f

I might be wrong, but could you?? I wouldn't have expected that to work
either.

I guess you're hoping for a deep copy of the structure in y? It seems an
unusual requirement. You could easily create another _var with such a
statement, i.e. X::Y_var y = f.

The horrid construct:
X::Y y = *(f.operator->()) would presumably work.
