I wish C++11 added syntactic sugar for the smart pointer classes like scoped_ptr, shared_ptr, and unique_ptr. I would rather see new operators (like Microsoft C++/CLI's ^ and %) than even more templated code. Compare something like:

  int^ foo(int% bar);

versus:

  std::unique_ptr<int> foo(std::shared_ptr<int> bar);

Smart pointers have long been available in boost and are required for writing safe code, but they make code unreadable (even after typedefs).
