This is based on conversations I've had with Andrei and Walter

There was a bunch of threads here about six months ago by
Andrei talking about the different problems he was running into
when trying to implement @safe and @nogc containers. One of the
conclusions was that ref counting was going to have to be a
nessesary component of the solution. This led to DIP1000
because of Andrei's conclusion that "Safe reference counting
cannot be implemented as a library"

Also, there's the vision document, which lays out some goals
but does not talk about containers:
