I honestly don't see what it actually brings us over using
QScopedPointer. It gives safety and convenience - and they are actually
also spiffy.

We have a tool already shared with the rest of the Qt community. Why
increase the entry barrier?

oh. and I think it also looks a bit like your d-ptr gets in the way when
you need a d-ptr hierachy.

So, unfortunately a thumbs down from here, but I do think it is a
interesting experiment.
