So you're suggesting we add a refcount to every value because it can be made to be semantically the same as not having one?



If you want to stay in safe Rust, sure. If that's too much overhead feel free to drop down to unsafe and do it just like in C/C++.

FWIW Rc is pretty lightweight. Arc is the heavier(and threadsafe) variant.
