Yes, but it's a logical fallacy you yourself made up: I never claimed
that std::unique_ptr is not needed.

I'm certainly fine with it, as long as my code doesn't end up with a
mixed style. This is certainly OK when I'm using some third party
modules in some isolated source file, but I'm less fine with it when
it's on types I need to use all over the place.
