I believe that c++ framework could be very similar to the current
refcount implementation, the only drawback I see is maybe for using a
few extra context bytes per (talloc'ed) object (but I'm not going to
start working that right away :)
BTW: I heard that Robert got an interest in talloc, and played with it a
bit.
