We should probably start documenting that. (Or finish 'scope' 
as you already said implicitly ;-).

Aye. If the reference never escapes, it doesn't need to be 
counted or freed (indeed, it really MUST never be freed, since 
whomever passed you that reference may still be using it and is 
responsible for freeing it (or passing the buck to the GC))
