The problem is that shared_memory and mapped_file already exist and
those classes just create a shared memory segment and a mapped file
(operating system wrappers just like a mutex). I'm talking about classes
that above those they offer dynamic allocation and named object
allocation in shared memory and memory-mapped files. "Services" may not
be a correct name but I don't know how to express the functionality of
those classes.
