No. ;-)

template<class T> shared_ptr<T> shared_from_this(T * p);

When shared_from_this is called with a pointer to non-const X, it will
return shared_ptr<X>. When called with X const *, it will return
shared_ptr<X const>.

This function has been removed in the upcoming 1.30 release; the
functionality is now provided by a base class enable_shared_from_this.
