what is the aftermath of dip74

[Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole]

We do not, no.

Reference counting is not currently in the language, although you can 
fake it with structs.

Its a huge shame, but it should be added at some point because the 
compiler would tell the backend that it is possible to elide pair calls.

However it'll have to wait for the DIP queue to reopen (slight process 
adjustment to make things easier is incoming).
