Ah, OK, that's good to know.

By "uncoordinated" I meant unrelated or unconnected. I wasn't aware
that the reference count is stored in the pointed-to object.
(
Side note:
I was thinking of something more like the boost::shared_ptr model.
For example, this dumb bit of code would result in "two uncoordinated
reference counts":
boost::shared_ptr<T> t1 (new T);
boost::shared_ptr<T> t2 (t1.get());
t1 and t2 are ignorant of each other. They each see a reference count
of 1 although they refer to the same T*.

This is very useful information. Thank you.
