I believe it does, but at the cost of forced reference counting. As I
pointed out, the `ref` solution

is not applicable to slices, therefore
it needs to return an RCArray. This in turn forces an inc/dec whenever
it is sliced or copied, and - maybe worse - it requires all consumers to
support RCArray (or whatever other idiosyncratic RC implementation users
come up with).
It seems to me it's time to have a UniqueArray proof of concept.
