Yet I have the impression that it still fails to convey the information that also some of the reviewers missed in 2003. Why don't we try to "review" and improve this presentation first? To be honest, I would really like to know what "shifted_ptr" is (or wants to be). As there is already a 28 page presentation and many examples, this should hopefully be a goal that can be achieved.

I just added descriptions on each page of the presentation explaining 
what is being demonstrated.

Furthermore you'll also notice a problem with the Mark & Sweep algorithm 
on slides 7 & 8, where a parent node still referencing a child node is 
being deleted.  Slides 26 & 27 shows how this is not a problem with 
shifted_ptr<>.
