What's that something else? Remember that QScopedPointer was created to 
simplify handling of exceptions (when we tried to care about exceptions). If 
we have to take the pointer out and handle it manually, it defeats the entire 
purpose of QScopedPointer -- simplifying exception management.

To ensure proper RAII, we need to have a hand-off to another object. What class 
is that other object that allows returning or passing?

No, I don't. I'm just presenting arguments.
