in my case GetObject() which needed to be const. assuming the problem 
was that i have not defined const cast operators i declared various 
flavors of cast operators in Ptr<>, but without luck. only adding 
get_pointer would make it work.

is the requirement of get_pointer somewhere mentioned in the 
documentation? i was unable to find it.
