I'd like to propose we add an add_tracked() function to the connection 
object.  This would allow an arbitrary shared_ptr/weak_ptr to be added to 
the list of objects tracked for the slot.  The justification is to allow 
for situations where an object needed by the slot is not directly owned by 
a shared_ptr, or doesn't directly correspond to an argument of the bound 
function.  For example, the bound argument might be contained inside 
another object which is in turn managed by a shared_ptr.  We could 
actually dump boost::track() entirely if we wanted, if we have 
add_tracked().
