Really? I use that all the time with AAs. Without that, you would have to do 
two lookups to get an object which might not be in the container, so it would 
be less efficient. I'd hate it if in stopped returning a pointer. We'd just have 
to add some other function which does the exact same thing as in now, and then 
I'd use in a _lot_ less.
