That is on of the 2 main problems with this DIP. The memory 
management of the object is linked to its memory management, 
which will force a ton a code duplication.

The second problem is that we are coming up with a myriad of ad 
hoc solutions for various aspect of the same problem, with no 
visibility on what the whole thing is going to look like (so 
there is no base to compare the current road we are taking to any 
alternative proposal, deemed too complex).
