One of the first things that stood out to me is that "add ref" is two

Using protocols rather than enforcing a particular implementation is
nice, but D needs to stop reinventing terminology and syntax matters.

AddRef/Release is established COM terminology.
One reason for keeping COM terminology might be if
std.c.windows.com.IUnknown can automatically take advantage of DIP74. Of
course this could also be a downside—would DIP74 break existing COM code
in D?
