I don't see why the name should be misleading; at least I would
consider an object to be a pointer to some black box rather than its
data contents.
In any way, it's not useless at all, it "just" limits its usage scope
somewhat - which is not that surprising since it builds on top of
BList. It's probably not like one would design it when starting anew.
There is always std::vector if you need something else, though.
