We're thinking of a number of schemes for reference counted objects,

a simple design and assess its limitations. In this case, it would be
great if you tried to use RefCounted with your class objects and
figure out what its limitations are.
RefCounted currently does not work at all with class objects. This is
explicitly indicated in RefCounted's template constraint.
Are you saying we should try to make RefCounted work with classes or
something else?
Yes, we should define RefCounted for classes as well. (Sorry, I was
confused.) Extending to class types should be immediate at least in the
first approximation. Then we can stand back and take a look at the
advantages and liabilities.
Could someone please initiate that work?
Thanks,
Andrei
