That sounds horrendous and wouldn't handle the case of a list element
creating a reference without binding a name.
To be any use, they would have to be called any time the
reference count changes, which happens *very* frequently --

There's also a logical problem. Calling __ref__ would
itself involve adding at least one reference to the object
temporarily, thus requiring __ref__ to be called, which
