I'm not sure that it's a good idea if I start something completely new
at this point. I also have another idea I'm working on (Boost.Operators
v2) and my time is not unlimited.

OK, to help with the current enable_shared_from_this, may I suggest that
I add some of the implementation variants to the sandbox
<https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/libs/smart_ptr> just for
further reference and try to turn the current implementation into a more
reference-like version like the one from my previous post?
