As I argued previously, the only justification I can think of for postblit is 
for reference counting. The counters posted here were variations on reference 
counting, or could be done in terms of reference counting.

In fact, I think we could solve the postblit problems with const, immutable, and 
shared by dispensing with postblit entirely and providing some sort of compiler 
magic for doing ref counting.
