[vtk-developers] Smart pointer declaration macro?

[Francois Bertel]

5. What about just renaming vtkSmartPointer into vtkSP?

vtkSP<vtkClass> c = vtkSP<vtkClass>::New();

we can maybe don't follow the naming constraint for vtkSmartPointer as
this is only a C++ trick, not visible for Tcl/Python/Wrapping.

Afterall, the goal is to be as close as possible to
vtkClass *c=vtkClass::New();
