When I think about it, maybe I should rework offset.hpp so that arithmetics
to members is even cleaner.

I'll change pointee_ to a pointer_type but I'll keep stored_type of type
shifted_object<T> *. The get_impl_* functions seem to be the main interface
between *_storage and *_ptr. I'm starting to understand now.

Euh, I think casts from shifted_ptr<T> will only work when applied to a
shared_ptr<T, shifted_storage> or something like that?

P.S.: I'm working on it in my spare time, so please excuse me if I do not
reply fast enough.
