I'm wondering why the customizable memory management described here:

   ftp://ftp.di.unipi.it/pub/project/posso/cmm/

couldn't be adapted to boost.  It allows separate heaps for different
memory management schemes.  It also allows precise collection if
one takes the trouble to create a pointer map for each class.
However, creating such a map for any field, not just smart pointer
fields, is the purpose of:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/boost/fields_visitor

so I don't see that as a big problem.
