That would be exactly what I need. Right now I'm doing the ownership 
transfer manually, and that's really not the right way. If you could 
de-boost your unique_ptr, I'd be really grateful.

However, using this consistently would mean a pretty big API change. I'd 
start out using it in the parser only.
