Phobos needs to be able to return allocated memory without creating litter. With RCSlice!T the ownership is passed back to the user. The user can continue tracking it by using reference counting built into RCSlice, or make the object "immortal" by calling .toGC against it.

Would it be possible to use RCSlice for all reference counting? I.e. that a reference counter for a struct would be a RCSlice of fixed length 1?

If so then maybe it would be nice, but with a different name.
