Assignment statements for containers have copy semantics. For example,
LRM A.18.2 says about vectors:

"                         Implementation Requirements

"254/2 The execution of an assignment_statement for a vector shall have
 the effect of copying the elements from the source vector object to
 the target vector object."

So, backed by the LRM, programmers need not worry about Adjust procedures,
if any.
