 Replying to [comment:6 Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@…>]:
 > What's the advantage of intrusive over shared when make_shared is used?

 Olaf,
 one important advantage is that the class does not need to be fully
 defined,[[BR]]
 another advantage is that you can create intrusive_ptr anywhere, you don't
 have to pass it around in order to have it.
