+/** Makes a boost::shared_ptr from a ref-counted UNO object pointer.
+    This makes sense if the object is used via UNO (implementing some X
+    interface) and also internally using its implementation class, e.g.
+
+    <pre>
+        boost::shared_ptr<MyUnoImpl> const ptr(
+            comphelper::make_shared_from_UNO( new MyUnoImpl ) );
+        ...
+        xUno->callingUno( uno::Reference<XSomeInterface>( ptr.get() ) );
+        ...
+        takeSharedPtr( ptr );
+        ...
+    </pre>
+
+    @attention The shared_ptr operates on a separate reference counter, so
+               weak pointers (boost::weak_ptr) are invalidated when the last
+               shared_ptr is destroyed, although the UNO object may still be
+               alive.
+
+    @param p object pointer
+    @return shared_ptr to object
