I don't know what Walter's current plans are for what any built-in
ref-counting solution would look like, but it's my understanding that
whatever he was working on was put on hold, because he needed something like
DIP 1000 in order to make it work with @safe - which is what then triggered
his working on DIP 1000 like he has been. So, presumably, at some point
after DIP 1000 is complete and ready, he'll work on the ref-counting stuff
again. So, while we may very well get it, I expect that it will be a while.
