I think it's a missing part. I would like to propose it but I have no 
time at this moment.

I think boost::interprocess::unique_ptr can miss some std::unique_ptr 
features (I wrote it many months ago and I haven't checked the standard 
requirements) . Now that we have move-aware containers in 
Boost.Container, boost::unique_ptr would very useful, maybe 
boost::interprocess::unique_ptr is a good starting point. Maybe you can 
try it with boost::container and tell us how it feels.
