Worth noting, too, that Swift does this largely because it inherits its default 
runtime from Objective-C, which started as a manually refcounted language and 
added automatic refcounting GC-ish behavior later in life. Swift was designed 
to be a more intuitive replacement for ObjC, so it inherits most of its 
benefits and curses.
