Re: return_stl_iterator acting as const?

I hate replying to myself but I also noticed that this problem is only in
the case where the vector is storing an object not a pointer to an object.
(Which is why I think I'm hitting a copy constructor at some point instead
of having it pass by reference)

If I was to modify the container to be std::vector<ContainedObject *> vec;,
and modify the test code to be:
ContainerObject cont;
ContainedObject* Obj = new ContainedObject;

Obj->value = 10;

cont.push_back(Obj);

Then when I come out of the call_function Obj has the expected value of 5.

Anyone have other ideas/thoughts?
