As an aside, this came about because the initial reaction was to do the following, which is REALLY bad

vector<Foo>::iterator iter = find( myFoo.begin(), myFoo.end(), shard_ptr(this) );

It compiles just fine, then quickly crashes when it leaves scope and deletes this.

having a shared_ptr of *this* is a unrelated issue (in my view a big no-no). you can find some info here:

http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/enable_shared_from_this.html

I don't want a shared_ptr to this because it is a big no-no as you point out. What I want is the ability to automatically compare the shared_ptr<T> to a T *.
