Isn't that - in the short term - impossible anyway? If a struct 
leaves the scope the reference counter has to be increased. But 
how does compiled code of a library know, if the foreign struct 
is an RC-object - without doing any runtime checks? So, any 
function has to exist twice, one time for RC and one time for 
no-RC?
I mean, it's probably a big topic that doesn't have to be solved 
in that DIP, too.
