What's the point of documenting an unspecified reference counter type?  
Following the interface specified by the docs, the only thing you can do 
with get_shared_count() is pass its return value directly to the 
constructor that takes a shared_count.  That adds nothing over the 
aliasing constructor.  You can't store the return value in a shared_count, 
because it's an unspecified type.
