-// Why doesn't this just return a scoped_ptr?

-// make_scoped_ptr is currently being migrated out of scoped_ptr.h, so we can
-// globally rename make_scoped_ptr to WrapUnique without breaking the build.
-// Doing so without breaking intermediate builds involves several steps:
-//
-// 1. Move make_scoped_ptr into ptr_util.h and include ptr_util.h from
-//    scoped_ptr.h.
-// 2. Add an #include for ptr_util.h to every file that references
-//    make_scoped_ptr.
-// 3. Remove ptr_util.h include from scoped_ptr.h.
-// 4. Global rewrite everything.
-//
-// Unfortunately, step 1 introduces an awkward cycle of dependencies between
-// ptr_util.h and scoped_ptr.h To break that cycle, we exploit the fact that
-// scoped_ptr is really just a type alias for std::unique_ptr.
