It works when two big ifs come together.

While it is of limited applicability, Objective-C (and
eventually Swift) codebases prove it helps in most real life
use cases.
But Objective-C has thread safe ref-counting?!
If it isn't thread safe it is of very limited utility, you can
usually get away with unique_ptr in single threaded scenarios.
