Thanks. You are the only who answered. So it's Timon (who is active but 
did not answer my request about weekly meetings), my student Razvan 
Nitu, Walter, and myself, with you as an observer. It seems to me that 
between the lot of us we don't have a passable solution to define 
__metadata in such a way that'd make it possible to implement the 
simplest case of reference counting.
