R.34-R.36 need clarification

I think we need an explanation of why we might want to define such "might" functions.

It seems you meant R.34-R.36.

What should an example for R.36 (passing const shared_ptr<T>&) show? Should it conditioanally take ownership? Would passing by const ref violate F.15 (prefer simple passing)?
