Why doesn't scoped_ptr have an additional template

a deleter?
Because that would make it larger than sizeof (T*).  I 
believe the general consensus on this is to use shared_ptr or 
perhaps the upcoming policy_ptr.
I also meant to mention that shared_ptr seems a little bit of overkill
for wanting to use what is essentially scoped_ptr + a pointer to a
deallocation function. Perhaps policy_ptr will be interesting.
