Simon> Well that's my opinion, let's see what Tom thinks about it.

I'm of two minds.

On the one hand, this sort of approach is fragile.  It's susceptible to
introducing bugs in the future.

On the other hand, it seems somewhat unlikely to actually be a cause of
bugs, since it's doubtful that more code will be added here.

I tend to suspect that using shared_ptr here is not too expensive, but I
don't mind either way I guess.
