I said it a couple of times, and it seems it bears repeating:
the charter of this is solely to create a slice type that takes

Then I think this is starting in the wrong end of the problem
space. Slices are tiny dots in this picture.
It would be better to have a RC compiler switch and version{}
statements in the libraries rather than having extensive special
casing of RC/GC vs pure GC types in user code.
