Yes, the chapter you are referring to says "/std::shared_ptr/ ... was 
deployed in the previous chapter". The previous chapter is called 
"Getting Started". It says "we would like ... a /Pimpl/-style class with 
the /pointer semantics/. That is:". Then it goes on to explain what 
Pimpl with /pointer semantics /is and how shared_ptr plays a role there.
