Seems like some kind of nsCFPtr which automatically does a CFRelease would clean up our Mac code quite a bit.
FWIW, there's CFAutorelease() now (usable back to 10.9).

CFAutorelease does an autorelease, using the autorelease pool. This bug as filed was about having a C++ smart pointer that calls CFRelease in its destructor without the use of an autorelease pool. We might still want to add such a smart pointer but I haven't seen a large need for it recently.
