Dunno, but I don't think any solution which uses RC!T will ever be

I feel terribly confused now :(
Andrei, can you describe your intention with some big picture context?
Phobos needs to be able to return allocated memory without creating
litter. With RCSlice!T the ownership is passed back to the user. The
user can continue tracking it by using reference counting built into
RCSlice, or make the object "immortal" by calling .toGC against it.
It's simple, really. All about libraries returning (and sometimes
accepting) slices.
