[Boost-users] Why intrusive_ptr destructor can throw exceptions?

Hello!

I found another difference between shared_ptr and intrusive_ptr behavior:

    * shared_ptr destructor never throw exceptions;
    * intrusive_ptr destructor can throw exceptions.

In my opinion, ~intrusive_ptr() should not throw exceptions too, because 
current behavior is much complicated and fraught with memory leak bugs.
