Is it allright if I fix the perfect forwarding bug 
(https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2962) in make/allocate_shared before 
it maybe gets copied into a make/allocate_shared_array?  IIRC you expressed a 
preference for using std::forward when I originally brought this up.  Can I 
just assume std::forward is available if the compiler supports rvalue 
references?  Ticket #3570 suggests this might be a problem with stlport 
however.
