[boost] [serialization] BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT and namespaces

The following is invalid:

    namespace x
    {
      class y { ... };
    }

    BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT( x::y )

Which requires something like:

    typedef x::y x_y;

    BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT( x::y )

The following additional macro mimics some of the other export macros:

#define BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT_GUID(T,N)     \
    typedef boost::detail::sp_counted_base_impl<  \
        T *,                                      \
        boost::checked_deleter< T >               \
    > __shared_ptr_ ## N;                         \
    BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(__shared_ptr_ ## N)        \
    BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(T)                         \
/**/

So this is valid:

BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT_GUID( x::y, x_y );

Thoughts on adding this.

Thanks, Jeff
