That's a given. This task and improving RC don't compete
(except, of
course, for bearing on the same people). I ask again, who
wants to
champion std.refcounted? Rainer? Manu? Michel? Are you there?

You should start with at least some sort of design document
for what
such module should look like.
The design is part of the championing. But haven't heard a peep
- it seems everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to
die :o).
Right now it is not clear to me at all
what kind of improvements are desired within current language
limits.
The clarify it to yourself and others. Start with a library
approach to making reference counting easy and convenient. Then
see how it informs possible language improvements.
Well I have already pointed out my concerns in this thread. Until
some solution is found new refcount module doesn't seem worth
putting the effort into.
