In that case, you'd have something like `std::vector` or `std::unique_ptr` which owns the actual allocation (and governs the scoping and therefore deallocation)

In that case, you'd have something like `std::vector` or `std::unique_ptr` which owns the actual allocation (and governs the scoping and therefore deallocation), while using `vector.data()` or `unique_ptr.get()` to pass around an unowned pointer. All raw pointers can then be considered to be unowned by convention.
