 yeah, i too prefer

unique_ptr< ComcreteFactoryAbstractRuleProviderStrategyImplContainer > thing = make_unique< ComcreteFactoryAbstractRuleProviderStrategyImplContainer >();

Over
auto thing = make_unique< ComcreteFactoryAbstractRuleProviderStrategyImplContainer >();

Verbosity and repetitions make the code so much clearer

 typical review from guy who dislikes auto:

auto& thing = Blah::GetInstance().GetThing();
thing.Wank();

"Argh don't use auto we dont know what the type of thing is!!!"

Blah::GetInstance().GetThing().Wank();

"Ok :thumbsup:"
