I looked into this at one point. One thing that would probably help is to
add a macro for increasing the reference count. That way we can easily
instrument checks on refrence adding in addition to reference releaseing.
Tests like make sure we aren't about to overflow or we aren't adding a
reference to something with 0 references.

Take care,
