//!shared_ptr stores a pointer to a dynamically allocated object.
//!The object pointed to is guaranteed to be deleted when the last shared_ptr pointing to
//!it is destroyed or reset.
//!
//!shared_ptr is parameterized on
//!T (the type of the object pointed to), VoidAllocator (the void allocator to be used
//!to allocate the auxiliary data) and Deleter (the deleter whose
//!operator() will be used to delete the object.
//!
//!The internal pointer will be of the same pointer type as typename
//!VoidAllocator::pointer type (that is, if typename VoidAllocator::pointer is
//!offset_ptr<void>, the internal pointer will be offset_ptr<T>).
//!
//!Because the implementation uses reference counting, cycles of shared_ptr
//!instances will not be reclaimed. For example, if main() holds a
//!shared_ptr to A, which directly or indirectly holds a shared_ptr back
//!to A, A's use count will be 2. Destruction of the original shared_ptr
//!will leave A dangling with a use count of 1.
//!Use weak_ptr to "break cycles."
