1590,shared_ptr documentation inconsistency,Frank Mori Hess,Peter Dimov,"The default shared_ptr constructor, which creates an empty shared_ptr,
gives ""use_count() == 0"" as a post condition.  However, the documentation for
use_count says it returns ""an unspecified nonnegative value when *this is
empty"".  I'd like it to return 0 for an empty shared_ptr, as that appears to
be the only way to distinguish an empty shared_ptr from one sharing ownership
of a null pointer.
