shared_ptr/unique_ptr work fine for me with FILE*, one only has

It does solve the RAII part but it doesn't provide a standard
interface for native IO.
Does noone use native IO?
I do, from time to time. But I always found RAII wrappers sufficient
and used 
the native API to work with file descriptors. I usually need something
low-level or non-portable anyway when I do
this.
I use filesystem or IOStreams when I want portability, and otherwise use RAII and native APIs when the code isn't portable.
