Description
The GSL section used to have an owner<T*> template presented... which is no longer there. Was there a decision to remove it at some point? I kind of liked it.
Anyway, owner<T*> is still being used in several places in the guidelines document:
- P.6 exampls.
- I.11 alternative 2
- I.11 enforcement
- I.30 example
- F.22 title(!) and throughout
etc. etc.
So what gives? Has owner<> been dropped, or hasn't it?

Research direction
Start by comparing the GSL definition of owner<T*> with the references in P.6, I.11, I.30, and F.22 of the guidelines document. Determine whether owner<T*> is still intended to be documented, then make the definition and cited examples consistent and check all listed occurrences.
