I don't see a make_shared anywhere in the boost shared_ptr documentation...
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Yeah, I was wondering why someone hadn't done something like this...
but I don't see it documented anywhere. Also, is this in TR1/C++0x's
shared_ptr? I've never seen a reference to it anywhere.
