The docs are still not up to date, but the code now works with
most tests in libs/policy_ptr/test.  The one test which
fails is std_ptr_binary_node_test.  It fails during
the test of the emulation of shared_ptr for collecting
cycles.  The code in:

   libs/policy_ptr/src/detail/collector_sp_counted_tagged.cpp

is *supposed* to be an accurate conversion of:

   libs/smart_ptr/src/sp_collector.cpp

to use policy_ptr emulations.  The conversion does appear to
get the same output as:

   libs/policy_ptr/test/collector_test.cpp

which is provided by:

   libs/policy_ptr/test/collector_sp_counted_tagged_test.cpp

Maybe you could more easily find the error in the conversion
of sp_collector.cpp than me, if you're interested.
