Too much and too long code. ;)
Sometimes it is better to see a new version from scratch to 
rethink old ones. ;) I'm not for removing them, I'm for 
rebuilding them. And a new version can bring new wind into the 
sails. That's why I'm presented my code here: for discussion.
But that is not that important, my main target was the 
implementation of Unique and Shared. You can adapt them with 
minimal effort. But I'm quite sure that my 'make' function is not 
yet present in phobos.
So, what do you think about discussing if and how my make, Unique 
and Shared could improve phobos.
