override vector::insert

[Paul McKenzie]

Rats. I'm going to have to recreate the interface for .at(..), .push_back(..), .pop_back(), .size(), as well as .insert(..), and perhaps a few others that I'm not readily thinking of. . .

.at(..) returns const_reference, which apparently isn't the same thing as T&.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by deriving from std::vector?

Is the NO way to force the destructor for vector,

What do you mean by "force the destructor"?

so that I can keep my vector class as derived??

Since you derived from vector, when your object is destroyed, vector is destroyed. There is no such thing as destroying a parent and having the derived remain intact.
