Yeah. I've read the chapter again, and there's no mentioning of an operator*, 
except in the example code. And
X::Y y = f;
should work, too, because of implicit conversions. And even
X::Y_var g;
g = f;
would do a deep copy (in the book they wrongly wrote *g=*f; ).
What a pity the stuff compiled under the old orb****, so I'll have to fix it now.
