Dear Boost Community,
I've been following this list for a time with the desire of contributing to Boost. It seems to me a good idea to start with small and easy to review proposals, before attempting anything big.
So my first shot is shared_handle class, an alternative to enable_shared_from_this that doesn't suffer from multiple inheritance issues. It also provides the capability of instantiating a shared_ptr to a member object.

Unfortunately, the implementation produces at least one regression: clang 3.1 crashes when it compiles cpp11_pointer_cast_test.cpp with -std=c++11. There may be others since I couldn't test in all compilers used in the regression tests.
Nevertheless, is there any interest?
clang 3.1 is ancient. I would not worry about it. Your code does not have to work with ancient compilers which no one uses anymore.
