I was considering this while I was at the dentist, and  I can identify a flaw
with my proposal. The "NullObjectTypes < T > :: factory ()" returns a
default constructed shared_ptr by default, and if this default version is
called from any of the constructor's that detect attempts to enter the
shared pointer into a nill internal raw pointer state, then there will be
infinite recursion.
