The scheme is too simplistic.
You need to add "policy" as a template parameter to
retain/release so that you can support different ownership
schemes with strong typing (compile time).
You also need a policy-link between the receiver and the object.
The DIP needs to prove that the protocol can be used to
efficiently implement the following in various configurations:
- weak-references with zeroing
- auto release pools
- unique ownership
- optional locking and transfer between threads
- wrapping of foreign objects that have their own RC scheme
