should <bits/unique_ptr.h> include <backward/auto_ptr.h>?

Yay for working on this. Using std::unique_ptr seems like something we
should be encouraging!!!

Hmm. Can you detail why you need auto_ptr.h at all? I must be missing
something. I see there are no current includes of it in any bits
headers, which seems ideal.

bits/memory_base.h?

bits/memory_classes.h?
