Right. A layer of abstraction. That's just what I have: my abstraction
does not expose any database header. Everything is hidden in a pimpl.
But how shall I implement the pimpl? It needs to "own" a database
connection. I could write a destructor that closes the connection. But I
don't bother. I try to avoid writing any destructor. I stick to existant
RAII classes. So I use a shared_ptr with a custom deleter that closes
the connection. Feels safe. That's what I gain. :)
