I have done a little patch (r33229), where copy and addref empty
slots/placeholders in VMT are omitted. I need to think about it (AddRef
operator existence is uncertain).

For merge with trunk purpose is recommended to use smart_pointers branch r33229
(more optimal "Init VMT" without empty slots for management operators:
AddRef and Copy).

I'd like to omit discussion on this topic for a while. I need to finish
research first.
