I'm quite certain that it actually calls operator= (or the equivalent for
built in types) for each of it's members. That way, most of the time, the
default implementation works perfectly.

Yes, it does (otherwise there would be a whole load of problems).

Same here. Stroustrup is oddly deficient in this area.
