Actually, make_shared<T>() needs access to shared_ptr's guts, at least if the implementer takes advantage of the obvious and highly desirable optimization. They are tightly coupled to begin with.

However, the coupling between make_shared and shared_ptr is an implementation detail.
Right, that's what I was trying to say - internally, they are coupled, yet make_shared goes out of its way to be a free function. STL
