For reference counting to work transparently, access to the symbol "C"
must be restricted. RefCounted obviously needs access to it. Client
code should never have access to it, even in the definition of C.
What ??? That mean writing all library code twice, for client that want
GC and for these who don't.
I'm not 100% convinced but it seems to me RC vs. GC is a class design
time decision.
That is a looser strategy.
I'm sure there are tighter ones :o).
