With opAddRef/opRelease class does respondible for its 
dealocation and its own payload so breaks SOLID's single 
responsibility principle. As for me better design will be to do 
it closer to C++'s shared_ptr.
e.g:

// maybe with @arc
struct RefCounter(T)
{
void opAddRef();
void opRelease();
ref T obj;
ref size_t count;
}
}

RefCounter!Widged myRefToWidget;

RefCounter with default ctor/dtor. opAddRef and opRelease is for 
compiler optimtimisation and elimination of redunadant ref 
counter increment/decrement.
