What would be nice to add is a behavior specification for 'scope' member variables (lifetime considered equal or slightly shorter than parent object lifetime). For example the `RefCountedSlice.payload` and `count` fields could be annotated with 'scope' to let the compiler actually guarantee that they won't be accessible in a way that conflicts with their lifetime (i.e. the 'scope' return of 'opIndex' would actually be enforced).
That adds a fair amount of complication I haven't worked through.
