Do you suppose that with the PP lib, we should try something
like this now?  If I understand correctly, we should be able to
offer both unmanaged and managed construction, right?  That
way, we retain legacy compatibility, while offering users a
safer way to use smart pointers.  I'll bet this is just the type of
challenge that Paul Mensonides would like to take on. ;>
