Smart pointers weren't invented by Rust. If you write code in other languages with pointers you mentally model the same types already.

This is wrong. It's part of the PR in the codebase. It did not previously exist.

Agree, after closer look smart pointer types are pretty standard and collections were indeed a part of migration.

But still, in order to prepare those detailed and very project-specific instructions you need to iterate on trying to convert the files from this specific codebase.
