Assuming that we want to support this configuration, the options I see are

- Config defining std::nullptr_t as it does with size_t;
- Config defining BOOST_NO_NULLPTR_T, so that libraries can activate 
workarounds, or
- SmartPtr fixing the problem somehow without Config involvement, which 
would entail detecting the problematic configuration in some way.
