(to use smartpointers)

Ladies and gentlemen of the Computer Science department Class of 2006 ... use smartpointers.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, smartpointers would be it.

The long-term benefits of smartpointers have been demonstrated by the Boost developers, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meagre hackery.

I will dispense this advice now.
