Make sure it doesn't interfere with optional< shared_ptr<T> >.  The
std::optional proposal chose not to use nullptr for good reason.  That
proposal is at <
http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2013/n3793.html>.

IMO, it isn't worth this C++03-only change to shared_ptr just to
occasionally save some typing.
