Which isDetached() are you talking about?

Don't mix the Intrusive Protocol with QISP members. The IP is a 
C++0X-pre-C++11 concept_map for use by QISP. It's not for being called 
by users.

If there _was_ a QIntrusiveSharedPointer::isDetached(), _then_ it would 
have the same problem as shared_ptr::unique() in that the result becomes 
meaningless upon return to the caller. Such a method might still useful, 
but it's not currently proposed; qIntrusiveDetached() is _not_ that 
function.
