If we use a custom Allocator we'll also need a custom Smart Pointer that uses this Allocator. None of our Boost Smart Pointers support Allocators and the Factory should actually initialize a stateful Allocator within a Smart Pointer that does.
Doesn't shared_ptr support a custom deleter? A custom deleter is just an allocator by another name/interface IMO...
Thanks! Well, this feature of 'shared_ptr' sets the situation into a different light (is it new?)... I'm considering a (partial) specialization for the Allocator template parameter, assuming a second constructor parameter for Smart Pointers in case 'Allocator' is not void (figuring 'std::allocator' is still an Allocator and should be treated as such).
