Ok, I can't hold it :o). It's funny how policy_based smart pointers have
been vigurously disapproved by some boost participants for various reasons,
yet anytime I log in here there's discussion about a yet another
smart_pointer du jour, designed from scratch, and most of the time
incompatible with all others.

It's not about small advantages it's about.
