The class reference type should be fixable with a rewrite into 
templated smart pointers, so no need for big changes there, I

Smart pointers impose a specific object lifetime, whereas (D) 
classes do not. You cannot lower (D) class instances to smart 
pointers.

Lower? No. Wrap - yes. With "scope" from DIP1000 you can even do 
it in a safe manner.
