My code would not see much ref counting in performance critical
loops. There is no point in ref counting every single point in
a complex 3D scene.
I could imagine it used on bigger items. Textures for example
since they may be used by several objects. Or - a prime
example - any outside resource that is potentially scarce and
benefits from deterministic release: file handles, audio
buffers, widgets, ...
