Does anyone know if:

1> It will be possible to choose if a class or object is to be ref-counted? How?

2> If all existing objects will suddenly be ref-counted?

I think it is an interresting addition, if it is something that one
can choose on a per-class basis and should be off by default in
existing classes. GC has absolutely nothing to do with mobile, so I
have no idea why they mixed both.

I'd much prefer multiple inheritance if they are feeling like adding
more language features.
