[webkit-dev] Introducing WTF::makeUnique<T> and WTF::makeUniqueWithoutFastMallocCheck<T>

[Alex Christensen]

This may be a tangent, but I wouldn’t mind replacing our use of std::unique_ptr with a smart pointer with "const T* get() const” and “T* get()” instead of std::unique_ptr’s “T* get() const”.  I think that would help us write more const-correct code.
