I'm wondering now how much you could add without introducing any footguns. I'd guess quite a bit, but I can't really prove it. Smart pointers, at least, seem like the kind of thing that inevitably will have a catch, but you could read in and process text from a file more safely than that, just by implementing some kind of error handling.
