[boost] minor shared_ptr optimization detail

I'd like to be able to stick all the generated code for using
get_deleter<X>(sp), for a given X, on one side of a shared library
boundary.  The closest thing I've been able to find in the public
interface is:

    my_get_deleter(shared_ptr<void>(sp))

but that incurs reference-counting, at the very least.  I realize this
is somewhat of a low-level consideration, but I wonder if it makes
sense to expose the shared_ptr's shared_count?

Thanks for listening,
Dave
