Oh, I was originally thinking of doing two different implementations
-- one for C++0x and another for C++03. The forward declaration was
supposed to be just before the point where I'd have an #if that chose
which implementation to choose.

I was then having some problems with the C++03 implementation since I
couldn't think of a way to make unique_ptr<> non-copy-constructible
but move-constructible (so that it could be returned from functions).
So I left the forward declaration there and forgot about it in the
end. :)
