Do you want me to continue documenting shifted_ptr as it is?  Do you think
the framework will be able to share different allocations between different
pointers?  Theoretically speaking I wouldn't know how to pass on an object
allocated with make_share_ptr<>() to a shifted_ptr<> as it is.  There shall
be overhead somewhere.

I am not yet familiar with every details, my apologies if I am missing
something.
