Smart_ptr and policy classes

I've spent the weekend trying to catch up on my boost reading, and basically
caught up on the last 3 months of shared_ptr debate.

Early on there was reference to using a policy class (cf modern C++ design,
A. Alexandrescu) to implement the reference counting.  This would allow us
to handle single/multi threading versions easily.  Given the recent line
about supporting intrusive counting schemes such as COM, I wondered if this
was worth another look?
