Shared_ptr<T>: the (not always) atomic reference counted smart pointer (2019)

In hindsight this convention seems weird to me by the way. I didn't question it for the decades I was paid money to write C, but after adopting Rust it jumped out more that it's weird how monocase the C and C++ standard libraries are.

Maybe there's a reason I'd never run into, but this seems like a missed opportunity. Even if I have no idea what Goose is, I can see it's a type, that seems like a win.

Yeah I don't know why so many C programmers ended up on a convention where case is entirely unused. I wonder if it's some ancient compatability thing that they have just been keeping self-consistent with forever. To me not using case is like designing a road map in black-and-white just because you didn't have any ideas for what colors should represent.
