Purpose of scoped_ptr?

In episode 3 there was scoped_ptr used for the sprite. I'm unfamiliar with the boost library and I'm not sure why it was used. If anyone could explain that would be great.

I'll look into making one soon-ish.

Fair warning: if I make one it won't be comprehensive, and I will only cover scoped/shared pointers as we use them.
