really important to get right for performance, since ref counting would
be used frequently.
That's the worst kind of excuses :) I don't remember the last time I
started working on a project and know what I was doing/had the right
skill set. I mean, that's how you learn.
Sure, but there are things I CAN do with my limited time, that I do have
the expertise for. I've already been schooled by the likes of you and
Michel Fortin on my knowledge of ref counting implementation.
BTW, this is how RedBlackTree (dcollections) came into existence, I had no
idea what I was doing, just the API that I wanted (and back then, I had
more time). The code is actually a slightly-hand-optimized copy of my CLR
book's red-black algorithm.
