In this particular case, I think shared_ptr.hpp should include shared_ptr_132.hpp /unless/ the user has defined BOOST_SERIALIZE_NO_LOAD_132_SHARED_PTR (or some more elegant name) beforehand. That way the concerned user can save themselves the overhead, whereas the default is safe.

I agree with this. For those users who start using serialization in 1.33, will they notice? But for those of us who already use 1.32 and have archives with shared_ptrs will suddenly have problems until we get the appropriate includes sorted out.

I'd rather backwards compatibility just worked.

I'll add my vote to this approach. Jeff Flinn
