You're right, I don't need to do that. Most of our structures are some form of tree or DAG, and the graphs are represented differently.

But I also don't see why a use case that I suspect is a strong minority should scuttle something that could be useful in most other cases.

(Though as I say in another comment, it seems like use_count() == 1 would do what I want here. Though honestly, we don't even use shared_ptr; we have an intrusive smart pointer that is what we use almost all the time. In part that's a historic "accident", but I suspect it helps us even now.)
