thread specific pointer behavior change

[nobody]

The thread specific pointer class seems to imply that only heap allocated pointers are eligible 
for use in the thread specific pointer (i.e. both reset and cleanup use delete object).

Is it possible to make the cleanup action declarable in the template such that we have someting 
along the likes of:

template <typename T, typename Cleanup>
class ... {
	reset(T *new) { ... cleanup(cur);.... }

	cleanup(void *cur) {
		Cleanup c;

		c(cur);
	}
}

or some such.

This would allow the use of say reference counted or even stack objects to be used in thread 
local pointers.

I don't think anything than heap located pointers should be
allowed.
An useful counter example would be interesting.
