I'm not under any delusions about getting such a change to std::shared_ptr
into c++0x. That doesn't preclude something like this being added to boost
though, under a different name (I'll call it "generalized_shared" for the
moment). Then boost::shared_ptr could be implemented as
template<typename T>
class shared_ptr: public generalized_shared<T*>
{...};
