Hi,

        I do not know why I haven't thought of this one before but I've 
implemented ownership support in placed_ptr<>.  Now I would suggest 
container writers to use ownership for their node allocations... this way 
cyclic reference counts could be easily avoided.  placed_ptr<>::clear() has 
been removed also.

        Another thing... it would be great to define when exactly an object should 
be destructed.  This is not clear.

        Here are placed_ptr.hpp and placed_ptr_test.cpp with rc, simple gc & os:

        I think I will need to implement some operator = (U *)...?
