If you have a null object you get an Access Violation without _any_ further information. That totally sucks.
I don't know what you're doing or which debugger you use, gdb shows me exactly what happened (line + stack + object).
And in my opinion a small "Ref!Type" is more informative for others who use your code and you do not have to write assert(obj !is null); any time in any method again.
I hope nobody will share code with Ref!Type, if they do people will relay on it and hey, all will do it, I don't need to check here, would be something different if it was not implemented by any library.
And yes my program start's first with a debugger but, as i said, you will only get "Access Violation" and must debug by yourself to find the null object, if you avoid assert's.
I have to debug nothing, as written above gdb sets automatically a breakpoint on a segmentation fault and shows me all the information I need.
