We don't need to do this.

The solution that covers pretty much everyone needs is custom root classes.

Attributes, monitor field, reference counting, -betterC, all handled if 
we just let people define their own root class that they explicitly 
inherit from.

Right now language is far too coupled to druntime, and this is one area 
I want to see fixed. Too many issues crop up because it is too coupled.
