Create a shared pointer that takes ownership of the specified `rep` and refers to the modifiable object at the specified `ptr` address. The number of references to `rep` is _NOT_ incremented. Note that if `rep` is a pointer to a class derived from `BloombergLP::bslma::SharedPtrRep`, the compiler will actually select the following (more general) constructor that has the same behavior: ` template <class COMPATIBLE_TYPE, class DELETER> shared_ptr(COMPATIBLE_TYPE *ptr, DELETER * deleter); `
