Even if no one writes an alternative implementation, it should be "good 
enough". Otherwise, it can be an utility in Boost.Move as it previously 
was in Boost.Interprocess.

Another issue is if we should put it into Boost.SmartPtr or not, 
specially the documentation. To minimize th work we can add a small 
section in Boost.SmartPtr's documentation that points to Boost.Move 
documentation, as someone looking for boost::unique_ptr is likely to 
start looking in Boost.SmartPtr.

Best,
