 Without the const correctness of the shared_array it is not as viable as
 it could be for many applications.
 For example if a member function has "shared_array<const T>" as an
 argument in order to guarantee that the array of T will not be modified,
 then if one has a non const shared_array he cannot use this function
 without some possibly unportable/unsafe workaround.
