Just admit the fact once again that refcounted variables are a) hard to implement correct and b) never work 100% what you want. A GC simply isnt an artifical intelligence that knows wht you would like it to do when reference counting gets more complex. We know this arelready and we live with this in PHP for a long time. And it is never a real problem in the domain we focus on. That being short living scripts that serve internet requests.
