I cloned the repository, configured the CMake, and generated a Visual
Studio 2017 solution and project files. Everything built correctly
although I could not figure out how to run the tests, because the
generated solution and projects, while correct - are not friendly for
someone who spends most of their development time isolated in the IDE
(like me).

Looks like nice work so far, but a disclaimer applies: I personally
have no use-case for out_ptr so I don't have a strong opinion on it.
