/** A smart pointer to a memory resource.

    This container is used to hold a pointer to a memory resource. The
    pointed-to resource is always valid. Depending on the means of
    construction, the ownership will be either:

    @li Non-owning, when constructing from a raw pointer to
    `boost::container::pmr::memory_resource` or from a
    `boost::container::pmr::polymorphic_allocator`. In this case the caller is
    responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the memory resource extends
    until there are no more calls to allocate or deallocate.

    @li Owning, when constructing using the function
    @ref make_shared_resource. In this case
    ownership is shared; the lifetime of the memory
    resource extends until the last copy of the
    @ref storage_ptr is destroyed.

    @par Examples

    These statements create a memory resource on the
    stack and construct a pointer from it without
    taking ownership:
    @code
    monotonic_resource mr;                  // Create our memory resource on the stack
    storage_ptr sp( &mr );                  // Construct a non-owning pointer to the resource
    @endcode

    This function creates a pointer to a memory
    resource using shared ownership and returns it.
    The lifetime of the memory resource extends until
    the last copy of the pointer is destroyed:
    @code
    // Create a counted memory resource and return it
    storage_ptr make_storage()
    {
        return make_shared_resource< monotonic_resource >();
    }
    @endcode

    @par Thread Safety

    Instances of this type provide the default level of
    thread safety for all C++ objects. Specifically, it
    conforms to
    <a href="http://eel.is/c++draft/res.on.data.races">
        16.4.6.10 Data race avoidance</a>.
