Except that they *do* destroy their children with the same refcount-guarded delete mechanism, right? So the main argument against the new method shouldn't have been "it casts a shadow on the wonderful world of refcounting", but "the problem that you are trying to solve doesn't even exist". :-) So we'll revert all these patches and return to the original state, plus: refcounting for aliases(?), and maybe an added removeChildren()? So much work for nothing ... sigh ... m.
