[boost] [shared_ptr] Detect shared_ptr argument at compile time

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list for this question:

Is there a way to determine if a template parameters is of type
boost::shared_ptr at compile time?

I would like to do something like:

template<class A>
void doSomething( const A& a)
{
   // if "a" is of type boost::shared_ptr<SomeType>
   a->someMethod();
   // else
   a.someMethod();
}

Is this possible at all?

Regards,
Ralf
