RC types are created to be used with DIP1000. Plus, Mir Algorithm 
used in production with this DIP. See configuration "dips" [1]

Well, the allocator support is not ready yet. But the 
mir_rc_context already contains `void* allocator` that will be 
replaced in the future with nothrow @nogc allocator interface 
(maybe this or next year). For now, Mir RC types are like a C++ 
shared_ptr without allocators and with the same performance.
