Yes it does :-)

I believe this would be great for working with many C-based APIs. I recently needed this when creating yet another wrapper for SQLite. I did my own (not reusable, and possibly buggy -- I am just beginning to learn D) implementation of referencing counting with some help from the people on these forums, but I really wished Phobos had it ready to use.
