hi ralph!

a heavy argument for a 'COW' pattern is made here:
http://cppnow.org/session/value-semantics-and-concepts-based-polymorphism
( 'copy_on_write' class template included).

maybe it could be interesting to compare your 'cow_ptr' to this
'copy_on_write'.

but no doubt:
the direct support of  'COW' in boost would fill e need
thank you for your efforts!

best regards
