Pretty decent implementation.

It's a shame that things like "make_shared_from_this" aren't 
properly possible in D. I think it's a small price to pay for not 
having to deal with multiple inheritance though.

I considered writing my own ref counted pointers as well. Among 
those considerations were the thought that I should make it 
"make_shared" by default, and leave wrapping windows HANDLE's and 
whatnot to a separate primitive. This obviates the need for the 
second pointer since the ref count _is_ the payload.

Weak pointers in D would be nice too, but I assume it won't be 
necessary if D ends up getting built in ARC. Also, I don't have 
any use for them right now.
