[Boost-users] [smart_ptr] make_shared imposes const ref.

Why is make_shared declared as

template<typename T, typename Arg1 > shared_ptr<T> make_shared( Arg1
const & arg1 );

rather than

template<typename T, typename Arg1 > shared_ptr<T> make_shared( Arg1 arg1 );

since the effect is that if you have a constructor that takes
non-const references you
cannot use make_shared( ) on it.

Thx,
