True, but the idea was that moving the refcounting into the pointer
types would help make move it into one place and one place only, making
it simpler and less error-prone.

We benchmarked it and there was not enough performance difference to
make it worth keeping.

Well, the optimization is just a side effect but not the goal.

That sounds painful.

Hmm, worth a thought. Should have thought about it earlier. :(

Optimization is not that much of an issue, simplicity and stability are
more important IMHO.
