boost::shared_array doesn't need to be part of the standard. The extensions
to boost::shared_ptr added in Boost 1.53.0 for array types (and the new
boost::allocate_shared and boost::make_shared for boost::shared_ptr of
array types) need to be part of the standard. :)

(boost::shared_ptr<T[]> has everything boost::shared_array<T> has, and
more).
