Suggestion: scoped_ptr::release()

    I think the scoped_ptr class should have a release() function, similar
to the one in std::auto_ptr.  This would help in cases like the following

int *foo() {
    shared_ptr<int> the_pointer(new int());
     //Do stuff that might throw
    return the_pointer.release();
}
