Alright I already got something.  If we mimic the Javascript function 
scope in C++ then we'll have the following:
https://github.com/philippeb8/root_ptr/blob/develop/example/javascript_example1.cpp

The application outputs:
Scope 0: BEGIN
Scope 1: BEGIN
A::A(const boost::node_proxy&)
A::A(const boost::node_proxy&)
A::~A()
Scope 1: END
A::~A()
Scope 0: END

Which is exactly what we want.  Note that I didn't stress tested it yet. 
  If you don't mind I will start a new thread with the Boost mailing 
list to see their opinion.


Thanks,
