yes, if it was pushing to a boost::ptr_container before (and we can
assume that that works), then converting it to a unique_ptr only at the
place when it is pushed is doing exactly the same thing.

the only problem to watch out for, if you do it earlier and convert a
variable declaration to std::unique_ptr then std::move into the
container then the variable contains a null pointer now - but if you
convert the bare pointer only inside the push_back call then this
problem is avoided.
