On second thought, this actually makes sense to me. Scoped_ptr requirements
will change slightly, in that it will require a complete type only when its
constructor is instantiated.

sizeof(scoped_ptr) will increase, but since scoped_ptr is noncopyable, this
will not have much impact (it's not meant to be put in containers.)
