That helps with very small, inlined functions until Marc
Schütz's work on borrowed pointers makes it redundant by
unifying scoped copies of GC, RC and stack pointers.
In any case inc/dec elision is an optimization and and not an
enabling feature. It sure is on the radar and can be improved
later on.
