+
+Given a 3rd-party smart pointer type
+<code>smart_pointer&lt;T&gt;</code>, one might partially specialize
+<code>pointee&lt;smart_pointer&ltT&gt; &gt;</code> so that it can be
+used as the <code>HeldType</code> for a class wrapper:
+
+<pre>
+#include &lt;boost/python/pointee.hpp&gt;
+#include &lt;boost/python/class.hpp&gt;
+#include &lt;third_party_lib.hpp&gt;
+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+ template &lt;class T&gt; struct pointee&ltsmart_pointer&lt;T&gt; &gt;
+ {
+ typedef T type;
+ };
+}}
