Asking about Creator and BC on @dev was a perfect attempt at trolling
as far as I can tell.

For me it still is one of the main reasons to have Qt Creator at all,
and I still think it serves this purpose well in practice.

For the concrete matter of owner<T> I *personally* see not much a reason
to have it, as for some reason I seemingly rarely ever run into those
unclear ownerships of naked T* and consequently don't understand where
all this hatred comes from. But then, owner<T> is as non-intrusive as
it gets, and since I have a couple of '// owned' or '// not owned'
comments in my code it looks like having that compiler-checkable would
actually make sense. So I would not oppose using owner<T> in Creator
code.
