I don't think it's a good idea for shared_ptr if it will always be a
part of the interface. I guess some people don't want to support the
style of initializing and assigning from 0 and they hope for help from
the compiler to get rid of it. If OTOH we look at a policy based smart
pointer, you idea can probably turned into a policy and no one would
have a problem with it :)
