I'm not sure. After reading several discussions on the web [1,2] I
concluded that I'll stick with by-value.

[2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3310737/shared-ptr-by-reference-or-by-value

At a certain point of time in the past this was included in
boost.shared_ptr documentation. I quickly skimmed over the docs but
couldn't find any reference.

Best regards,
