Comment(by Chris Kieschnick <wildjokerman_at_[hidden]>):

 I too would benefit from this feature as I have a large boost::multi_array
 (elements number in the millions or hundreds of thousands) in a thread
 which I am handing off to another thread before the initial thread dies.
 (This thread is merely an algorithm and it must post its result to a queue
 which maintains result output in the same order that each algorithm thread
 was started).  I don't think it should be necessary that I use
 boost::shared_ptrs for a structure with such a small local footprint (some
 pointers and other information I presume).  For now I do a copy until I
 can get around to refactoring to add a shared_ptr.
