If it's inspired by "STL" then can we call it something else?
std::unique_ptr is not part of the STL, because the STL is a library
of containers and algorithms from the 1990s. std::unique_ptr is
something much newer that doesn't originate in the STL.
ok then I forgot or never knew that sorry. It *is* std::unique_ptr in
C++11 or newer, so I think it would be odd to name it something else.
