How about holder(A, 'std::auto_ptr'), holder(A, 'boost::shared_ptr'),
holder(A, 'user::smart_ptr').  Internally the HeldType will add the
right template parameter?  But what if the smart pointer is not a
templated class?  In that case we'd need to use something like this:

 holder(A, 'std::auto_ptr< %s >'), holder(A, 'user::smart_ptr').

Is that OK or is it too ugly?
