From Macintosh compiler (nsRangeList.cpp in layout.mcp):

Warning : 'nsDerivedSafe<nsISupportsArray>::operator=(const nsDerivedSafe<
nsISupportsArray> &)' hides inherited virtual function
'nsISupportsArray::operator=(const nsISupportsArray &)'
(instantiating: 'nsDerivedSafe<nsISupportsArray>')
nsCOMPtr.h line 367   };

Right.  I know this sounds strange, but this is what I intended to happen.  |
nsDerivedSafe| hides inherited |operator=| because you couldn't possibly get the
right one.  |nsDerivedSafe| makes |operator=| private so you can't call it and
accidentally slice in the following circumstance

  *myCOMPtr = *someOtherPointer;

I wish I could supress the warning, but I can't.  Sorry.
