I don't see checked_delete mentioned in the scoped_ptr documentation,
so the answer to your first question seems to be "no". As for
specializations, scoped_ptr is so simple that you'd be better off
writing your own class template to release the object differently,
IMO.

You don't say much about your use case but shared_ptr with custom
deleter and/or allocator may be exactly what you need.
