Compiler Hacking: Creating Our Own Smart Pointer

Let's build a Smart Pointer! Our value type is always heap allocated, but if we had a Smart Pointer instead of a raw pointer, we could do some nifty magic and sometimes avoid a heap allocation, like in the case of integers.

About the Project: Natalie is a very early-stage work-in-progress Ruby implementation that compiles Ruby to an executable. It does so by transpiling Ruby to C++ and feeding it to gcc or clang to produce a binary.
