Where does 90% come from? On the contrary, it seems to me
unique references are rather rare and fleeting. -- Andrei
Yeah, 90% doesn't feel right to me. In C++ I try to use
unique_ptr instead of shared_ptr wherever possible but I find I'm
often not able to because my references need to be held in
several places for efficiency. I'd say I'm more like 90%
reference counted, 10% unique throughout my 300kloc codebase.
