I was hardly worried about who does anything as much as what would make sense to do. I have interest, motivation,
and multiple copies of the code but not a lot of time to waste of bad approaches. There was a prior discussion
about coding conventions that should be applicable even to those contemplating a contribution of just browsing
the code, I fail to see how this discussion is less relevant to current and possible future development concerns.

If there was some piece of this or a related effort that could be aided by certain code features that
would seem to be of interest to everyone and it isn't clear which people would have important thoughts
to contribute ( or I would take it some other place). 

So I take it that now you just have factories and smart pointers and just make stuff and have it
allocated wherever without further thought?  I guess I could do some profiling my self and empirically
find problems and just assume that no one has specific comments on suspects or things they have observed
as possible problems.
