It has user defined constructors (to make it non-copyable), and private 
data.  I don't know why it was done that way, I'm just trying to make sure 
that the ::type member is TR1 conforming.

BTW using aligned_storage directly like that (not going through the ::type 
member), is and always has been, untested and undocumented.
