OK.  I again looked at smart_ptr.hpp and noted that
smart_ptr template just had class template parameters
and no template template parameters; yet, boost_policies.hpp
(shared_storage) is a template.  Are you planning on making
the parameters templates or leaving them as classes?

I looked for template parameters in smart_ptr.hpp and found the 
declarations:

         template <typename> class StoragePolicy = scalar_storage
         template <typename> class OwnershipPolicy = ref_counted,

guarded by

#ifndef BOOST_SMART_POINTER_LEGACY_INTERFACE

However, the shared_storage template class has a reference count;
hence, it seems like it ought to be an OwnershipPolicy since the
above OwnershipPolicy defaults to ref_counted.  So should
shared_storage be renamed as shared_ownership?
